New York Moon and Landscape Workshop

with Jennifer Khordi

(May 4th - 8th)

Half Moon over Lady LibertyHalf Moon over Lady LibertyA last minute trip to the Brooklyn Piers last night served as a sharp lesson in the adage "proper planning prevents poor photos." Don't get me wrong; I like this shot. But, it is not the shot I set out to get. About thirty seconds earlier the lower edge of the midsummer moon tottered precariously on Lady Liberty's flame, as if she were delicately balanced on a fragile stage. That is the shot I had hoped to get. Unfortunately, when I got to my vantage point on the Brooklyn Piers, I realized that the wind off the Hudson was creating a lot of camera shake. A couple of test shots proved that I would not get any focused shots with the current gear. I had to run back to the car and get a heavier tripod and lens or abandon the shoot altogether. I chose the car (of course). By the time I returned and got set up I had missed the shot I hoped to get.

As I shared above, this is still a good shot. I just can't help but think that if I had not tried to take the easier path of bringing lighter gear, I would have achieved my goal for the night. In the end, it worked out well. Life is good like that - you make a mistake, you learn a valuable lesson that makes you wiser and better, and sometimes, like last evening, you still end up with some reward.

I hope you enjoy.

Photography is about perspective. Ten photographers can take a shot from the same location, on the same subject, and end up with entirely different images. Many photographers at the NiSi Filters clinic yesterday took this shot. When it was my turn, I decided to take the lowest possible angle - as if viewing the scene from directly on the hallowed ground. I am pleased with the result. I hope you enjoy. I pray you remember.

Under the Brooklyn SkyUnder the Brooklyn SkyThere is a starlit night sky above New York city that I have always wanted to bring out and see. I believed that a cold winter night sky might help bring out its clarity but have been so busy I could not get to Brooklyn to scout shooting spots.

That changed last evening. Cindy and I decided to go on an adventure after dropping my father at home in Long Island. Dealing first with an hour of stopped traffic getting over the Koskiasco bridge, the hurdles seemed to be foreshadowed. Shooting in NYC is like shooting nowhere else.

Finally arriving at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 2, we wandered out, Styder in tow, to find a location. One cop car scare for walking an unleashed dog and brutally frigid temps chased the dog and my lady back to the car. I'll be honest, I wanted to go too. But I was not sure when I could get back and besides, once the shot is in my head I have to take it.

Finally finding the view I was looking for, I set up my gear and began to fire away. One again, I was complimented by an ADD affected Asian tourist who just about set his tripod up over my shoulder to get the same shot. I must be blessed.

By the time the series was finished, I could no longer feel my toes or finger. I packed up and hoped I had some usable images. I will be editing this series for a while but wanted to share this first view.

I hope you enjoy.
 

Old Town Lowell Milky Way

Milky Way

(March 17th - 19th & April 21 -23)

Traveling Back in LowellTraveling Back in LowellAt the end of time eternal, the path of angels leads to memories of an era now gone and a life more simple. In the small hamlet of Lowell, AZ there is a street that struggles against the modern age. In Lowell, vintage is the present, and the current does not exist.

Like so much of the Southern Arizona High Desert, it is unexpected in the most incredible way. On this night, like a magnet is drawn to its pole, the Milky Way found an earthbound brother, pointing any who would wander its path to this magical place.

The vision of His magnificent creation unfolds for me daily. Be it created through His children or His hand; it is all grand and awe-inspiring. I am blessed to share its witness. I humbly remain His scribe.

At the point where Sanibel and Captiva Islands meet lies a jetty that allows for an unobstructed view of the setting sun. Unobstructed except for the crowds of shell collectors that are want to move from their hobby for any reason.

My choices were simple, include the sheller or ask her to move. Thinking about it, I felt that the shot would be more suggestive of the area with her in it. Shell collectors begin their efforts with headlamps glowing before each sunrise and persist in the hunt until daylight fades into night. The true character of the Captiva Island sunset would be lost without at least one collector gracing the image.

I hope you enjoy.
