“We have to start teaching ourselves not to be afraid.” William Faulkner

Here’s to those who dream,

Foolish as that might seem.

Here’s to the hearts that ache,

Here’s to the mess that we make.

Justin Hurwitz and Benj Pasek

Holiday Light: a child’s POV

I know that some holiday light displays can be over the top, but the child in me still finds fascination into what is clearly a labor of love.

“Here’s looking at you, kid…Merry Christmas…”

Life is full of juxtapositions. My favorites tend toward the contrarian ends of range or spectrum. This particular example is not only one of color, but that of seasons as well. Warm versus cold, color versus monochromatic, wet versus dry, autumn into winter.

Night Light

POV

As much as I love being in Manhattan, I also love being just outside of it, in particular, just across the river in Brooklyn. There’s plenty of “city” to be found and experienced, but thankfully, the parks are terrific reminders to take it slow once in awhile.

The Sunset

I am very fortunate to have this kind of view from my office. Yes, what you’re looking at is what I saw appear before me…

Ghost

I was right up against the front glass of this luncheonette and I don’t recall seeing anyone close to me at all….odd. Still, the reflection is interesting.

Okay, now I’m freaking out…this is the frame I took just before my “ghost” photo….the position isn’t exactly the same as I took one step to my right. Go figure!
