What with everything else I’ve been doing lately, I find that I have to push myself to shoot the daily photo. I’m still carrying my camera around, but it hasn’t been as natural for me to haul it out.

Splish splash…
So Mike has been in town and yesterday he, I, his friend Karen, and Lolita took ourselves off to five hours of liquid satisfaction at Spa Castle. Bliss is a well placed jet of water. If you’re a New York resident or planning a visit, make your host take you there: it’s like a civilized… Continue Reading

I don’t know what this… Continue Reading

Landmark….
Quiet day today, but I took myself for a walk along Atlantic, across the Brooklyn Bridge and up Elizabeth, where I found the Malaysian Beef Jerky shop.
