Flying Squirrel
Living six floors up from the ground I am not accustomed to seeing squirrels on my balcony. This inquisitive little fellow didn’t stick around for a formal portrait.

I am now using Wordpress for content. Movable Type, whch I had been using for two years, never agreed with me and Wordpress looks, feels, and behaves far better. (It doesn’t hurt that everyone else seems to be moving from MT to WP, and that MT started to charge money). I have more than 500 photographs on the site, and any way I can find to help people view them the better.
An archives page is a new kicking off point. I’ve started to ‘tag’ my photos, tagging is a rougher, looser, style of categorisation. For example, browse by pinhole, leica, or polaroid manipulation tags. You should notice much less advertising on the site, google returns a nice sum to show their ads but you are here to view photographs not advertisements. In time, I hope to move the rest of my site into pages that look similar to these.
Please excuse any quirks of browsing right now (particularly if you use the ‘Safari’ browser). If you have troubles posting a comment, just contact me. Do let me know if there are any problems I may not be aware of.
In other news the past few weeks, you may have seen my photos in your local Border’s on the cover of Poetry Magazine (mar, feb), or the cd cover for Giorgio Serci, amongst other places.
Oh, and I should be posting more photos soon - hold on!

Smack bang in the middle of Central Park, on the Great Lawn. I’ve
been photographing this guy for years, and the day after Xmas I was
back there snapping him in all his glory. As you can see, he is a slow
but sturdy specimen. No actual snow falling, you can see his
neighbourly buildings on 5th Avenue. I’m a little older these days, so
I did not climb over the wire fence, resulting in the slightly wider
view. It makes me think about the 2020s, 2030s, what will he look like
then? I hope to keep you all informed.

Gallery, 3 lights. American Girl. Canon, Capture the Memories.
I shot in NYC long enough that when I went there for a few days
I knew that there was little use trying to get some great street shots
in such a short time. These were from the roll that I did shoot, around
Times Square.
