“Peace, Love, & Understanding” #Cyanotype

Hail Mary, pray for our sinners… Cyanotype from a photo, scanned and converted to black & white.

A Broken Flower… A broken flower shows how trust shatters—something once beautiful now cracked, fragile, and hard to fix.

…“Running into the darkness, some hurt bad, some really dying
At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down”… Backstreets - Bruce Springsteen.

I captured a stranger’s face through my cameras lens today.

But once they’re frozen in my camera’s memory, are they truly strangers anymore?

A moment shared—fleeting, yet intimate.

How do you repair a house once strong, now divided?

Start with honesty, compassion, grace, and shared hope. Like this Upper Nyack home—old, historic, weathered, and still standing.

A reminder: even in our divided political climate, repair is possible if we choose to rebuild together.

Walking down Thompson Street
on a hot NYC summer night,
arms swinging to the rhythm of the city
—carefree, alive, and perfectly in tune.

I “Hiked the Hook (Mountain) Like HOPPER” with fellow Edward Hopper House Museum members—fun, challenging, & truly inspiring!

This very path likely inspired Hopper’s 1899 watercolor Off Hook Mountain, Nyack, now at the Whitney. Amazing views, great company, & a deeper connection to Hopper’s world.

I’m creating “negative” slides for an upcoming project:

#anthotype is a photographic printing process that uses photosensitive material derived from plants, fruits, or vegetables and great for the environment!

A toy soldier with a flower in his barrel—proof that even the smallest symbols can speak loudly.

Peace will always be braver, stronger, and better than war. …………………………………………………… #onadigitaljourney #life1frameatatime

Three unlit religious candles on a supermarket shelf—random, quiet, unnoticed—can still feel like a symbol of Hope.

Five Pillars of Wisdom—knowledge, compassion, humility, integrity, and courage. …………………………………………… #onadigitaljourney #life1frameatatime #streetshotphotography #documentaryphotography #humanisticphotography #blackandwhitephotography #street_photography #monochrome

Bench Kings of 90th and West

Linen shirt, loafers neat,
Coolest style on a city street.

Shades low, moving slow,
Dog at his feet with a bad-ass glow.

Central Park hums in summer light,
Pigeons flutter, tourists take flight.

Man and best friend, calm and dressed,
Bench kings ruling the Upper West

A lone figure steps from the glow of streetlights into shadow—caught between light and darkness in a city that never sleeps. ………….………………………………………… #onadigitaljourney #life1frameatatime #streetshotphotography #documentaryphotography #humanisticphotography

See the world two ways: one in soulful black-and-white, the other alive with color. Perspective changes everything. Choose the lens that brings life. 🌍✨ #Perspective

West 23rd Street NYC

Photography is all about chasing light.

Think of your camera like the human eye—ISO is sensitivity, aperture is pupil size, shutter speed is blink duration.

The camera’s a tool, but your curiosity, creativity, and playfulness truly create the magic📸

Time to start a “Go-Fund-Me” page! Good luck 🍀

3 Squared (Harlem NYC).
There’s something super satisfying about seeing things in threes—photos just feel more balanced, interesting, and eye-catching when stuff repeats three times.

Just kids being kids—laughing, running, having a blast. Throw in some baseball and it’s even better. Nothing like the simple fun of the game! ⚾😄. ……………………………… #baseball #cincinnati #onadigitaljourney #life1frameatatime #documentaryphotography #humanisticphotography

Music enters where words fail. One song can shift your whole mood, unlock memories, and make you feel understood. That’s not sound—it’s soul. …………………………………………… #rockandroll #onadigitaljourney #life1frameatatime #documentaryphotography #humanisticphotography

Strong, smart leadership is a smooth roller coaster—thrilling but safe. Weak, clueless leadership? A broken ride—chaotic, dangerous, and heading off the rails. #LeadershipMatters 🎢 ……………………………………………… #onadigitaljourney #life1frameatatime #documentaryphotography #humanisticphotography

Kid fun: running wild, messy ice cream, cartoons.
Adult fun: canceled plans, clean house, hot coffee.
