My train station. It’s my portal. This was my first attempt at doing 1 photograph a day, and I lasted maybe a week.
Not as sharp as I wanted, even with the built in shake reduction in Pentax bodies, my shutter was too slow, although maybe I could’ve shot it at f/16 instead of f/22. I could’ve upped my ISO too. I can’t figure out why I didn’t

And today’s most viewed photographs on my Flickr photostream with a whopping 4 (each) views is….(there is a 4 way tie)

These were shot from various VW GTI MK6 Car meets.
This is one of the shots from my failed attempt at doing a 365 series titled ‘Where is Garfield Now?’ or WIGN for short. The basic premise was to shoot a Garfield Pez dispenser in different places/scenarios for 365 days. It was totally random, and it all started when I picked up a Garfield Pez dispenser at a garage sale. I did over 150 odd some days. I do have about a dozen unposted shots, but after falling behind in posting it, I ended up scrapping the whole thing.
I’ve been meaning to do it again since, but just haven’t found the main subject as appealing as Garfield.
Anyway, this was Day 28 and the description I put was as follows;
“Garfield decided just to stay at home today, and chill w/ some buddies.
He also told Optimus and Soundwave that the new movie didnt wiggle his tail, unlike the first one.
(I was stuck at home….so i know, this was a lame one)
Where is Garfield now?
Day 28: Kingswood village @ B-burg, NJ”
One of my personal favorites, shot at the Storm King Art Center in The Hudson Valley, NY. (http://www.stormking.org/) It’s a massive expanse of a space, and the fields were brimming with life. It took me a good while to get done taking photos of bees, lady bugs, and of course butterflies. View my photoset and see what’s what. I personally love the photographs that came out of that trip. I used my Pentax K-20D with a DA* 50-135mm Lens, processed in Lightroom.

I shot this during my aunt and uncles renewal of their vows. I also got a stern looking at from the priest after I did, as I stepped on the alter side of the church, and that apparently is a big no no.
This was a shot from 2009 using my Pentax K20D. What I really love with the Pentax bodies is the anti-shake built in the bodies, and not in the lens, granted, my D700 can shoot at low light with no problems at higher ISO’s. The joy’s of having a bigger sensor.
In any case, this was shot in RAW, with some minor corrections in processing via Lightroom.

Another shot from 2009, I had a lot of time then, as the company I worked for cut back our hours so that everyone can stay employed, and not have anyone get laid off, so to make good use of that extra found free day, I did some photography. I should honestly find a way to do this again, even if it’s a few shots a day. I do tend to get rusty, and looking at my shot list this year, it’s severely down from my usual 10k or shots a year.
Anyway, this shot was from a fine spring day in Central Park, NYC, it was quite gloomy, but I still somehow managed to squeeze off a few shots. This particular frame is a weeping willow, somewhere in the park. I did some processing fun with Lightroom, and managed to produce this.

In addition to my random Flickr Photos, I will start posting my shot with the most hits of the day.
Today’s shot is the lovely Jessica Nigri interviewing a fellow cos-playing as Super Saiyajin 3 Son Gokou of Dragon Ball Z.
This was shot during last years New York Comic Con.
Another oldy, but goody. Shot in 2009 with my trusty old Pentax K-20D (honestly, I don’t know why I don’t use this body more often), it’s a simple shot of an old door at my aunt’s place, leaning, spent, and well used.
I don’t have much else of a story behind this shot, I just found it visually pleasing.
I shot this sometime ago, it was quite a rainy day, and I didn’t get much shooting done cause of it.
I was trying out my Pentax M50 lens, possible one of my favorite lenses in my bag, so sharp, and poppy.
The bird caught my eye, as he’s trying to take some shelter underneath the chair from all this rain. I wish I could have gotten closer.
I think every so often, i’ll just post up a random Flickr Photo from my photostream, maybe to showcase some of my work. I seriously want to do more work as a photographer, and maybe this will be a good way for me to get my feet wet some more.
First up, I shot this photograph some years ago, having just picked up a Super Takumar 135mm Screw mount for my Pentax K10d. I was sitting in the couch at our old place in NY. The result was a silhouette of this plant we had on the window sill with a super buttery smooth bokeh.
I should try to use this lens more.
I just wrote a blog
