Central Park Collage

I still don't know if I'm doing it right, but I'm getting the hang of it. By this, I mean that I'm getting the hang of trying out my own collages using Photoshop. Hope that those of you in the States (and Canada!) had a restful and/or fun Labor Day. For me, it was restful and I welcomed it.

Fountainhead

I shot this inside a florist shop on Amsterdam Ave. in NYC last weekend. I wasn't going to post it but a comment from someone on my flickr photostream changed my mind.
The texture I used is Gold Amber Swirl Paper by EnchantedGirl stock on Deviant Art.

Esplanade at Riverside Park, NYC

Riverside Park is a scenic waterfront public park on the Upper West Side in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It consists of a narrow four-mile strip of land between the Hudson River and the gently curving Riverside Drive. When the park was first laid out, access to the river was blocked by the right-of-way of the NY Central Railroad West Side Line. Later it was covered over with an esplande line with honey locust trees.

Up on the roof

Hope you weren't expecting roses and sweet sentiments, because today I'm posting a photograph that I was fooling around with in Photoshop. It's got an old-time texture applied to it that makes it look very vintage. Well, I think so. I took it in August from the roof of my son's apartment village in NYC.
Happy Valentine's Day, Matt! I mean, if you're reading. Which I highly doubt. But I'm just saying.

Trinity Church at Night

Trinity Church, at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway, New York. This shot was taken last weekend as snow was just beginning to fall. The cemetery was closed, but this beautiful little place of worship was all lit up in its historic beauty. For more information on the church, visit this link.

Matt Damon's Guitars

Well, if you look really fast at the sign, that's what it looks like.
Just another photo I took during my trip to NYC last weekend.

Nighttime on Wall Street

I had a great time in the city this weekend and we met my son on Saturday night. Went to a nice restaurant on Stone Street and walked down Wall Street where I saw this excellent display. It was much better in person and my photography doesn't even begin to do it justice.
