To the eternal flame
Erie County’s Chestnut Ridge park is one of my favorite places and has been for years. This park, larger than New York City’s Central Park, is set on the side of one of the higher hills to the south of … Continue reading

At the Botanical Gardens
Night-time at the Botanical Gardens is always magical, especially when they have it all decked out for Halloween. More here.

When the Light is Low….
One area of photography I need to work on–well, I need to work on all of them, but especially this one–is low-light photography. I’ve done some experimenting here and there, and my results haven’t been super-encouraging yet, at least, not until … Continue reading

Visions from the Outer Harbor
Some shots from my photography session down at the Buffalo Outer Harbor this past Sunday: More photos from that day, with full-size versions, in this Flickr album. By the way, I think I am now going to start using HUE … Continue reading

Restaurants come, restaurants go….

Sunset over Lake Erie
This spring has been odd, even by Buffalo-Niagara standards. We’ve had our usual cruddy spring, but judging by how advanced the trees are right now, it must have been a better than usual spring. We’re usually not this green until … Continue reading
