My Hobby

Looking Back – Skateboarders getting high

These photos were taken back in March of 2004. I was taking a class at the New York Open Center, and I had an assignment called “Movement”. I decided to go to the South Street Seaport to take some shots, and I came across these guys skateboarding behind the shops and restaurants. Their skills seemed a step above those of the average skateboarder I’ve seen… they were catching some incredible air.

Mojácar, Spain

I just got back from a trip to Mojácar in the Andalucía region of Spain. A group of friends gets together every year or so to rent a villa in a different destination… and Spain won the vote for this trip. Among the places I visited where the Alhambra, Agua Amarga, Nijar, and Bédar. I’ll be posting some shots from each location when I get a little time.

Been there, done that…

I walk past the Empire State Building every work day. If it wasn’t for an assignment for a photo course I’m taking at the New York Open Center I probably wouldn’t have taken this shot. I haven’t gone to class to review the assignment yet, but I’m sure that the instructors point is that if you don’t look (or look again, and again) you may be missing something worth seeing (or photographing). My friend, the dead programmer has been working on a project with that idea in mind for some time now.
