Photos: After a Snowstorm in Vermont

The day after a snowstorm in Vermont, snow still clings to tree branches while ice covers the river in the distance.

Photographing snow scenes is hard, especially while wearing snowshoes!  The result of attempting to crouch low for this photo was almost a face full of snow.

For the picture below, the goal was to capture the texture of the snow and make it as sharp as possible.  The camera was set to f/3.5 at 1/4000 sec with ISO 100 in bright early afternoon light.

In this photo, it’s almost possible to see animals tracks in the snow.

Photo: Blurred Taxi in Times Square in New York City


Somewhere in Times Square in New York City, the neon lights reflected on the taxi, the shutter speed set to blur it, the way it is perceived in person.

I was experimenting with shutter speed and captured this.

This photo was the result of experimenting with flash settings and shutter speed. I like the incompleteness and the story that seems to emerge. Opinions about people seem to form as a result of footwear and posture.

With everything going on in Times Square – the lights, the people – forgetting the street is easy.

Paris’ endless rooftops are easy to get lost in during visual exploration.

Wherever you go in Paris, the Eiffel Tower can be seen, or so it seems.  This was a view from the top of the Arc de Triomphe looking towards the Eiffel Tower.

Photo of the Day: New York City Street Performers and Times Square Crowds

As the tourists focus on the street dancing performance in New York City’s Times Square, a few people look elsewhere.

The colorfulness of the original photo was overwhelming – just like Times Square can be in person. Going black and white seemed to make the photo easier to mentally digest.

These shots were taken outside a Times Square gift shop in New York City.  Liberty is fragile.
