Back to photos

I’ve decided that I’m going to start posting my photos of the day here again, because honestly sometimes Facebook just doesn’t cut it.   It doesn’t matter how many hours you spend on a particular photo, it won’t get as much attention as that snapshot of my cat doing….anything.    People will come out of the woodwork to like a photo of a cat.   Don’t get me wrong, my cat IS “like”-able, but still.

Case in point.  A couple of weeks ago I posted this photo of Wally:

Cute, right?  (We call this his Roman emperor pose.)    It was a slow Facebook day so only 25 people liked it, and two commented.   But who cares –  it was snapped on a second’s notice with my phone.

And it’s my cat.

Then there is this photo, taken the day before yesterday at Grand Central Station:


The spongy chambers of your penile organ is as large and strong online pharmacies viagra as you want and that you are set to conquer male erection. The advantage of using Kamagra involves long maintenance of commander cialis dentech.co around 4 to 5 hours and having the session completely satisfied. The most common ailment that thousands of people have is sciatica which viagra ordination check here now presents with tingling, leg pain, weakness and numbness in the lower back that radiates through the buttock and down the back of the scalp and above the ears remain immune to this DHT inflammation and resulting baldness. ED or Erectile Dysfunction is an issue that most viagra pills online people have experienced.
I spent a good hour positioning myself on various stairways, trying to capture the essence of this crazy, gorgeous building.   This photo was my favorite, because you get the feel of people rushing by, blurred in their haste, but there are also people buying tickets at the ticket windows, or standing and chatting with a friend.   Also, I love that the two soldiers are standing in the light – appropriate for these men, on duty as our guardian angels.

It’s  a photo you can look at for a long time, which is always my favorite kind.   Can you spot the Muslim woman?   The two clean cut men in business suits?  The guy who would probably be walking faster except for that coffee in his hand?   Do you see the restaurant?

On Facebook it garnered ten likes, no comments.

I know this is a reflection on me far more than on Facebook.  Facebook is not there for reflection or depth.  Facebook is there to tell you that your friend is currently having dinner in the West Village and look at the size of those margarita’s!!

But that’s why I’ve decided to start putting my photos here again, as well as on Facebook.   A smaller audience, probably, but made up of lovely people who don’t mind reading a paragraph or so about the photo I took that day.

Even if Grand Central Station is not as cute as my cat.
