Pics from New York

Finally got some pics from New York uploaded. Including the pics that really made the reality of the World Trade Center tragedy hit home for me. Yeah, there’s a couple of pics of the area, from a distance, with the smoke still rising, and the damaged buildings around it, but it’s the pics from a Police Substation and a firehouse that had the pictures of the men they lost posted outside. Those are the ones that really make you stop and look, and realize just how much was lost that day, by so many families. My heart goes out to them, and I hope they know that these men died as heroes in every sense of the word.

    I believe I’ve mentioned this before, but one of the difficult things as a hobbyist photographer, is finding people willing to simply let you shoot them for an hour or so. I’d love to get more practice shooting portraits, but I also know I’m not good enough, nor do I have the lighting gear, for…

    I have to be honest. Before they contacted Angela about maybe using one of her photos on their online photo city guides, I had never heard of Schmaps. However, soon after she heard from them, I got an email as well letting me know they were considering one of my photos. Today, I got an…
