11:50am, April 26, 2017Upper East Side, NYCAt the Irving Penn Centennial exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Spent most of my stroll through the photos trying to take photos of Penn's works without people standing in front of them. Made a sole exception for this lady. (Had no idea it would come out like a modern Rockwell.)
2:18 pm, April 11, 2017Lower East Side, NYC
9:45 am, December 5, 2015Upper East Side, NYCWaking up to barely being able to see out my apartment windows, I realized that a thick, low, morning fog would make for some interesting pictures at nearby Carl Schurz Park. The low visibility (not even two blocks) provide some eerie yet calming visuals.
4:00 Pm, April 2, 2017Central Park, NYCThough Central Park is open 365 days a year, many sections of it off-limits to park-goers (and their feet) as they want to preserve and maintain the grass and have it all beautiful and ready for the fall. Well today seemed to be the day these sections open up to the public, as the 60+°F temperatures had the park full by noon, and pedestrians taking advantage of some of the greenest pastures this city has to offer. And this being Central Park, looking up from the immaculate seasonal lawns proved to be as rewarding, if not more so.
11:50 am, March 28, 2017 Greenwich Village, NYC
9:02 am, February 9, 2017Upper East Side, NYCFirst major snowfall in New York City is always an exciting event for us local photographers. And although it didn't turn out to be the 6–8 inches of snow predicted, it did make for some seasonally beautifully photoshooting. You can see more from this morning's shoot in the First Snow In NYC of 2017 page in the KAC Photo Editorial section.
1:43 PM, February 19, 2017Central Park, NYCI was near impossible to not take a conveniently easy trip to Central Park when it recently hit 66ºF in mid-February here in New York City. I ventured to one of the favorite NYC spots of my not-from-NYC favorite person, Bethesda Fountain, featuring the Lady of the Waters statue, which strikes an imposing and impressive view, no matter from what angle you look upon it.The fountain commemorates the Croton water system, which first brought fresh water to New York City in 1842. The angel carries a lily in her left hand — a symbol of the water's purity, very important to a city that had previously suffered from a devastating cholera epidemic before the system was established. The piece is the only statue that was commissioned for the Park. Created by Emma Stebbins, it also marked the first time a woman received a public art commission in New York City.

6:45 am, January 12, 2016Upper East Side, NYCVentured to local Carl Schurz Park a little after 5:30am this morning as the temperature made it most amenable, as did bumping into my long-time good friend Alex Kiss, who I bumped into walking his dog.
7:13 am, January 5, 2017Upper East Side, NYCHE (gesturing to his cane walking into H&H Bagels as I hobbled past him, to a nearby table, with my bagel and hot chocolate): Need this?ME: Huh? (I didn't see/get the gesture.)HE: Looks like you need this more than I do.ME: Oh, heh. Thanks, but I'll just be quick. Not supposed to be out anyway.HE: Me neither. But it's the only time I get to see people. HE: (Maybe thinking I was about to respond with pity, defends): That's by choice, of course.ME (nodding with complete identification): Amen, brother!HE: Amen to you, young man!Then, later, as we're both seated, eating, and he sees me taking pictures of my food and the whole shop space, he looks up at me.HE: Am I in the way?ME: Oh, not at all.HE: Good. If you get me in the shots, make sure you get my hat. It was a gift.ME: Sure thing....
7:21 am, January 5, 2017Upper East Side, NYCOn my way back home from H&H Bagels, stopped to bet the peak of orange sunrise coming from the east, and happened to catch this early riser crossing the crosswalk at the opportune moment.
1:19 PM, December 2, 2016Nomad, NYCWas treated to lunch at Nomad restaurant — in the Nomad Hotel — by a good friend, and enjoyed an exquisite seasonal meal with rich ambient light provided by this ceiling-wide skylight.
3:16 PM, November 19, 2016SOUTH BRONX, NYCRunning a work-related errand to a friend and client in the South Bronx I happened across the small hill of a street that boasted these proudly colorful tree leaves, a visual made even more stark by the full white side of the house it stood in front of, as well as the blue sky supporting in the background.
11:47 am, October 20, 2016Midtown East, NYCI had just received my free full year membership at the Museum of Modern Art and was on my way out the door when I noticed the an on his cell in from of the window looking out upon the museum's courtyard, and the large, tall rose that stood directly on the other side of the window.
7:10 AM, October 27, 2106Upper East Side, NYCThis morning, at around 5am, I was starting to get concerned about the steady and increasingly strong smell of smoke. One of my likewise early-riser friends asked, during our daily early morning chat, if I was hearing the sounds of helicopters as well. Once I turned down the sound on my rainstorm app, I did. My friend soon heard on the radio that there was a fire somewhere in the Upper East Side, where I live.I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, so I took until 6am before I found a story about the fire, detailing that it was a 6-alarm fire and only 9 blocks away from me. I was already dressed to go to Fairway supermarket, so I grabbed my camera as well at headed to the scene of the fire.There I found a young, rookie reporter — they're the ones who get called by their bosses to cover stories at unconventional hours — seemingly live-Facebooking, as she had finished her live media broadcast for the time being.All told they were some major injuries, and supposedly one death as well. The smell of smoke was strong enough for me to be concerned that my own building could be in peril. I can't imagine what it would be like to wake up to the smell of smoke, or the sight of fire in my own home, worried that I might not make it out. A doleful reminder that tragedy can strike at any time.
October 16, 2016, 2:48 PMEast Village, NYCThere are still artists in the East Village. 60, 70 years old, still walking around the neighborhood with fresh paint or plaster of Paris on their black denim jeans and original issue NYC music club t-shirts. The NYU students do dress the part, though they walk too fast with their heads in their devices to appreciate the local art and the personalities of the people around them.
October 1, 2016, 6:07 pmLOWER EAST SIDE, NYCIconic Katz's Delicatessen is never not crowded and always a welcome and authentic throwback to an old school New York City that is quickly evaporating. Was with a couple of friends — one from South Carolina — and their family strolling through the Lower East Side and had to let them all swing by, and take a look in to fully appreciate the nostalgia and history of the place.
October 1, 2016, 5:56 pmLOWER EAST SIDE, NYCI love living in a city where a guy in nice jacket sitting in a desk chair on a street cover over a manhole while on his cell phone is just "Sunday".
September 17, 2016, 11:12 amUpper East Side, NYCThe main gallery "spiral" of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is in transition between exhibition installations. So they have extra security to keep visitors off the ramp while the work is being done and keep traffic contained. The take the responsibility very seriously, with professional kindness.
8:56 am, July 22, 2016Central Park, NYC Three of the anchors for Good Morning, America standing (and swaying) just offstage to the singing of the GMA Concert Series headliner for the day, international singer Sia.
2:28 pm, July 19, 2016Flatiron District, NYCDozens of people on the far (uptown) side of 23rd Street taking photos of the Flatiron Building from the same spots a million others before them have. I felt crowded/claustrophobic so I crossed to the south side of the street (where there were no photographers), about 5 steps away from the 6.5 foot wide, 25°-angled vertex of the physical building.Looking up and through the camera lens I had chosen instead to appreciate, admire, and highlight the details of the "Renaissance revival" architecture of the 22-story, 114-year old, limestone and glazed terra cotta iconic NYC landmark.The partial cloud cover and slight sunlight flares were just bonuses. But happy to get this close-up shot that upon further Internet research is even rarer than I would have imagined.
2:43 PM, June 11, 2016Upper East Side, NYCI just fancied the geometrical and color play of my friend Anne-Marie's attire and accoutrements against the bench we were sitting on and the sidewalk beneath us.
10:04 PM, March 29, 2016Upper East Side, NYCKaraoke DJ Kristin took wistful reminder photos of her regular visitors at popular Upper East Side bar Danny & Eddie's as it celebrated the end of a successful 10-year, having to now close to make room for a pending high-rise building.
4:08 PM, April 16, 2016Washington Square Park, NYCDon't know if this man's official name is "Bird Man", but the pigeons of Washington Square Park do seem to gravitate towards him as he feeds them peanuts from his hands and the ground around the park bench on which he parks himself on. The bearded plaid-shirted guy walking by was just a gift.
4:27 PM, April 16, 2016Washington Square Park, NYCDeceptive picture, as there was a crowd just feet in front of this saxophone player, they are visually blocked by one of the "legs" of the Washington Square Park arch. (Just wasn't a big crowd, though....)
6:57 PM, April 14, 2016Soho, NYCCame across a nice though common patch of wall graffiti and art down in Soho. Some other photographer likewise appreciated the visual and was already taking pictures of a subject with the art-tagged brick wall as the background. Instead of waiting I just took my own picture as well.
7:32 pm, March 29, 2016Gramercy, NYCThe first of two bars I passed in Gramercy that still had their Christmas decorations up, Paddy McGuire's Ale House also sports a window spotlight and overhead horse head, that act like a beacon to attract booze-thirsty passerby. (Or distract them like a bug zapper.) The guy in the cap was having as much trouble using his mobile device as he was being able to stand upright and still.
7:40 PM, March 29, 2016Gramercy, NYCRolf's German Restaurant in Gramercy is one of the last remaining authentically traditional German restaurant in all of the five boroughs. So much much so that even the extremely elaborate and ornate decor skews more genuine than kitsch, as it would most anywhere else. Even this happy hour couple find it comforting.
12:48 PM, February 21, 2016Washington Square Park, NYCOn this particular afternoon where I found myself in the Greenwich Village area I strolled through Washington Square Park to find three different musical performances plating with earshot of each other. A piano player closest to the Park's arch entrance had just taken a break when an older gentlemen offered to play during the first pianist's break.He played classical — and well. And was not shy about letting other listeners and parkgoers get near him to take photos.I took a handful of pictures, this shot being my favorite—and not just because it's one of the few shots that doesn't show the other photographers/Instagrammers/social media posters conspicuously orbiting the subject.
11:07 AM, February 6, 2016Hell's Kitchen, NYCA "locust" of pigeons doing a flyby about to descend on a mound of freshly laid out breadcrumb in an empty parking lot in Hell's Kitchen.
1:08 PM, February 21, 2016Greenwich Village, NYC40-year old iconic counterculture clothing store Trash & Vaudeville on St. Marks Place in Greenwich Village is relocating. This classic storefront will be no more. So had to come down and capture one last image of it for myself.I'm happy they will live on in a another space — sad that this view will be no more and probably replaced with a Starbucks or Chipotle.
6:43 PM, January 7, 2016Midtown, NYCI grew up in this city, when young finding these carriage horses beautiful and majestic—an iconic visual of the classicism of this city. But now I'm older and and have heard of (and seen) the conditions they are kept and work in. I see them now and, still grateful to see them, yet also sorry to see them as well.
11:15 AM, January 1, 2016Chinatown, NYCHad just finished having my first meal of the new year at dim sum restaurant Golden Unicorn, and was walking my way to the subway for the trip uptown back home, and unsuspectedly walked by one of the outposts of Nom Wah Tea Parlor, a place I have been dying to try out for quite some time. Took this picture as a reminder to do so. And happy to see the place is still popular with a line of people outside waiting to get in at just past 11 in the morning.
4:09 PM, December 17, 2015Chelsea, NYCAfter having a very satisfying lunch at Chelsea Market seafood restaurant Cull & Pistol—with new friends I met on Facebook and finally met in person—I snapped a couple of pics as I wound my way out of the market, this particular one being of most interest to me. Kind of Hopperesque again, but with a far more modern and accessible "vibe".
12:18 PM, December 15, 2015Little Italy, NYCDoes this look like a scene happening in NYC in mid-December? I didn't think so either. But here it was just after noon on December 15th and this woman is straight "chillin' out" like it was the start of spring. (And she's problem checking her mobile device to see how much longer the unseasonably warm weather is going to last.)
5:28 pm, December 9, 2015Upper West Side, NYCTaking a little bit a stroll after another (impromptu) photoshoot, always love the utter randomness of not just the one block-long park abutting the north entrance to the 1 train, but the people in it and walking through it. These two represented quite literally the "baggage" that we. as New Yorkers, always seem to be carrying.
5:59 PM, December 6, 2015Chelsea, NYCRandomly happened upon this Hopper-esque visual while hanging with friends on a fire escape right around nightfall. personally, plenty of identification.
3:52 PM, November 4, 2015East Village, NYCFirst noticed the retro sign. Then noticed the stereotypically hirsute young men getting their manes and beards properly coiffed and maintained. Last thing I noticed, after many more observations, was the wild, long mane of the colorfully-attired woman sitting right in front of the barbershop. There's was no way I could pass up the opportunity to capture the amusing visual.
3:50 PM, November 4, 2015East Village, NYCI'm a lifelong New York who just discovered Freeman Alley for the first time today. I checked out a Gordon Parks exhibit and took in a lunch at a restaurant at dead end of the alley. Walking back out after lunch i stopped to frame this shot, choosing to wait for the next pedestrian to walk by to take the picture. I bicyclist went by instead. I had to be quick.
1:35 PM, November 1, 2015Upper East Side, NYCThe TCS NYC Marathon always brings out the best in avid fan spectators, throughout all the neighborhoods of the five boroughs it winds through. A great universally positive energy and vibe are enjoyed by runners and supporters alike.
9:20 PM, October 18, 2014Central Park, NYCWanting to see the autumn-turning-of-the-leaves situation in Central Park, I checked the view from the Jackie O Reservoir in Central Park. From the view I could see I was about a week or two early, so decided to get a shot of the fence post—with the skyline in the background—as a precursor.
9:20 AM, October 10, 2015Harlem, NYCThe length of this truck, with its long, blank, white canvas-like side, was what first caught my attention. Then it was the fact the truck's shadow covered the width of the street right up to the edge of the sidewalk curb. Didn't have to wait long for the pedestrian to walk through, snapping the pic as she crossed center frame. The sun flare on her shoulder isa bonus
9:03 PM, October 7, 2015World Trade Center, NYCThis is the closest I'd been to the newly opened Freedom Tower. It does indeed cut a majestic presence in the New York City night sky.
