Apparently he makes an appearance on 6th Ave during the holidays, so I snapped his portrait.

So why am I posting images from the last season? Good question. I just like them and have only recently scanned them. Something more sunny and cheery to come shortly…

Mother and Son

I learned this morning that my grandmother, the last remaining of my grandparents, died last night. June Simpson had suffered the loss of a son, her husband and Alzheimer’s. Yet throughout she was a faithful and loving woman who brought a sense of joy to everyone who knew her. She was 93.

I say and I think she’d agree, hold on but not to tight, lest we forget to enjoy it while it lasts.

One that jumped out at me is below, from the outskirts of Reykjavik just before an impromptu spelunking adventure thanks to Unnur the fearless guide/birthday girl. This kid really wanted his picture taken, but more than that he wanted to make a game out of it, ducking and laughing when I pointed the camera in his direction and then, moments later, slowly peering over the edge before repeating the process over again.

Also, the launch of the new website is imminent! Can’t yet say exactly when, but soon… very soon! Possibly even as early as Monday! Stay tuned…

Taken the same day as the Yuengling can below and shot with one of my pride and joy/piece of photographic history cameras: the Leica M6 TTL. After an inspiring conversation with a friend recently about this camera, I decided to break it out again and see what she could do. Needless to say, I’m never disappointed with this camera, and every so often it delivers a piece of magic that i didn’t think was possible. Serendipitously I suppose.

A few images from the park.
