In the City of Bikes

Brrringggg! Brrringggg! is the sound heard most often in Amsterdam and the more than 800,000 bikes in the city really keep you on your toes. There are about four times as many bikes as there are cars. Almost all streets have bike lanes and I once did a double-take when looking at a parking garage, realizing that it was filled with bikes and not cars. I love how some people dress up their bikes with flowers on the handlebars, presumably so that they can find their bike in the morass of parked bicycles. It's amazing to see a city with its infrastructure built around bikes rather than cars. 

The most beautiful city that could ever be

"The most beautiful city that could ever be". Well, Napoleon Bonaparte had that right.

New York Noir

Even though I work mostly in color, I still adore black and white photography. It lends itself so well to the drama of New York City, particularly at night.
Some of you have been asking about prints. I'v been adding many of the photographs I've been blogging to my shops. They can be found in my Etsy shop and in my personal shop.

When spring came to town

I've been to New York a number of times, but never in the spring. You never know what kind of weather you'll get, and we got a bit of everything: fog, a gorgeous summer-like day, cold and rain. Luckily, some trees were already in bloom and the blossoms added such fabulous texture and color. My camera just ate it all up.
