March 12 photo of the day

Posted on March 12, 2014 by Amy

I had a hard time getting a shot I liked today.   Chelsea in the West 20′s provided the backdrop.  Several photos were ok, but nothing grabbed me and said, “This is the one.” Breaking with protocol and because I … Continue reading →

March 11, photo of the day

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Amy

It was a glorious 65 degrees here today and sunny. Needless to say, we went to Central Park. You could feel the earth getting ready to burst forth, and palpable relief oozed from the pores of every t-shirt wearing, jacket … Continue reading →

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Amy

Over the first ten days of March I’ve taken 272 photos from which I’ve chosen my photos of the day.   Some days I get the shot in under 20 frames and sometimes it takes 70 or 80. But almost … Continue reading →

March 9 photo of the day

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Amy

March 8 photo of the day

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Amy

I’m working my way up to photographing random people.  Fabulous strangers on the street.  I so admire photographers like Amy Arbus and more recently Brandon Stanton, better known as “HONY” (Humans of New York) for their ability to do this. … Continue reading →

March 7 photo of the day

Posted on March 7, 2014 by Amy

I was walking back to our building from the subway, and saw this discarded on the street.  It struck me as particularly Dickensian (and is missing only the word “us” to make it an actual quote from Dickens’ A Christmas … Continue reading →

March 5 & 6 photos of the day

Posted on March 6, 2014 by Amy

Whoops, yesterday just slipped right by!  So today you’ll be entertained with not one, but two photos. Aren’t you excited? The first is cheating, really.  (Maybe I could do a blog post titled “Cheating your way to great photos”!)   … Continue reading →

March 2 photo of the day

March 1 photo of the day

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Amy

This one won’t win any awards, but I couldn’t pass it up. My March project is being done with my friend Karen, who lives in Yorkshire, England.  I have no idea where Keswick is, but when I walked by this … Continue reading →

Tomorrow I start a photo project with my friend Karen, who lives in Yorkshire, England.  Every day we will post a “photo of the day”, for the entire month of March.  We did the same thing a few years ago, … Continue reading →
