In a pipe and factory state of mind while waiting for fresh snow... Which one you do like best - 1 or 2?

Here is my humble homage to brilliant photographer George Tice, who passed away one year ago today.

Based on research, I knew the surroundings had changed radically. I decided to make photos all around it and enjoy the feeling of walking and photographing where Tice walked and photographed in 1974.

1/1/2026 - first photo: Sunny and very cold.
12/31/2025 - second photo: Cloudy and just chilly.

Photographing "my" @olanafredericchurch tree as the year changes. It was nice to document this wonderful tree with the sun kissing it today.

Last photo for 2025: 1/105 second of a roofer / 15 seconds of freight train, Mechanicville, NY. Happy New Year! More details about this diptych on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DS8Gs_wEYV...

Oh, I left my beating heart near Still Water
I'll go and pick it up tomorrow
And see if the train is still there
Waiting for me at Still Water

Around Albany, yesterday. The sky opened up just as I arrived to this location and let me do my trichromatic series of exposures just before the light was gone.

This was after a long day of walking around downtown. There is no substitute to walking around with a camera, preferably on a tripod.

A wooden pipe over a water stream leading to a hydroelectric dam. the photograph depicts the scene in vibrant sky colors due to a technique known as trichromatic.

Exploring more hydroelectric plants (and pipes) for a potential new series of photos. Was surprised to see that this pipe is made of wood, see close up photo for various water leaks. A really lovely spot and an exciting direction for me. #photography #longexposure #trichromatic #hydroelectric #dam

Ten years ago I wrote this personal essay, marking twenty years since Rabin was assassinated.
Now, another ten years have passed.

Lately I've been in love with pipes and tubes. From our own bodily veins carrying precious blood around to industrial-size pipes.

Last week I stopped by the village of Wappingers Falls and discovered this wonderful pipe snaking through and bringing water down to their hydroelectric plant.

Love all the pipes I saw at Glens Falls. #photography #longexposure #trichromatic #pipes

In a Glens Falls state of mind... #trichromatic #longexposure

Sharon in her store. Sharon runs the lovely Calsi's General Store in the village of Wassaic, NY. It's much more than a general store and compliments this lovely village so perfectly.

The bridges of Harrisburg, PA in an extra special edition of trichromatic exposure. I am continuing to experiment with this technique, just seeing where it's going to take me.

Looking through... at the bridges of Harrisburg, PA. #longexposure #photography

This morning photo bounty: 80 seconds of bulk carrier Orcinus passing Hudson, making its way from Albany to NYC.

"Orcinus" is the genus name for killer whales (also known as orcas). In Latin, it translates to "of the kingdom of the dead" or "belonging to Orcus," the Roman god of the underworld...

Kayakers and a plane, but no train.

Thank you 🙏

Greetings from the Catskill Creek

One elevated Amtrak train and three floating joggers, it's the mystery of gravity and time in action, as only photography can tell.

Several airplanes taking off from Newark Airport, over a bridge to nowhere, Elizabeth, NJ. It really is a sight that needs to be seen.

A Glens Falls state of mind…

Two minutes of "my" Olana tree yesterday / two minutes of the landscape next to it. #photography

Under the Goethals Bridge, NJ.

Which version do you like best: Color (1) or black & white (2)? I can't decide...

Back in the (Hudson) Valley While still thinking about my artist residency in Michigan

My latest newsletter about photography is (finally) out: notlikehere.substack.com/p/back-in-th... I am sharing more thoughts - and images - from my artist residency near Lake Michigan.

Here is about an hour of airplanes taking off from Newark Airport just above Container Ship CMA CGM La Scala as the cranes are offloading containers from it. I strive for an overload of commerce and transportation appeal in this photo, just wish it also had a train... #photography
