New York City
New York City is one of our favorite places. I did most of my purposeful shooting there in my early visits in the Aughts. Our recent visits have mostly been about museums and dining, but I take my camera along just in case.
We usually visit New York in January or August when the hotels are less expensive, so that has a bearing on the scenes you see here. Some of these previously appeared on the old Shuttercity photo-sharing site and others on my blog — the rest were scanned specifically for this gallery. I reprocessed all of them for optimal display on this site.
Photo titles and notes:
• Red White and Blue — August 2002 (Ektachrome).
• Posers — Metropolitan Museum, January 2019. Featuring “A Youthful Hercules” sculpted 1st Century, excavated near the Pantheon.

Not to tip the scales, but my personal favorites here are Celebrating Liberty, Future Psychic and Power Lunch. I also like the Hopper-inspired Pizza and West 40th Street. Thanks to artist/curator Sally Wood Winslow, I was able to exhibit Power Lunch and Red White and Blue at the High Falls Visitor Center in Rochester, NY, a showcase for local artists back in the day. Sadly, the center closed in 2013.
These are terrific.
Great stuff as always. Especially like the Clapton/Harrison “Badge” ref in the 1st, the Posers, and the Ceiling!
