Artistic Picture of the Lighthouse on Tybee Island at Dusk - Panorama Print

Tybee Island is a beautiful little gem off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. Tybee has long been a weekend getaway for citizens of Savannah (it was in fact renamed Savannah Beach for a time). Today, Tybee Island sees vacationers from much further away. One of a chain of barrier islands, Tybee Island has a history as long as the Georgia colony. This picture is a piece of photo art from my own first time at Tybee Lighthouse. I arrived in Savannah in the late afternoon and by the time I … Continue reading →

Brooklyn Picture from New York City of Historic DUMBO Warehouses converted to lofts

I only tiptoed into the fringe of Brooklyn on this trip but hope to see more of New York City’s five boroughs one day. These shots are from the edge of the East River which affords a nice view of Manhattan. This particular photo was actually taken from the Brooklyn Bridge.  It represents formerly commercial buildings that are being renovated into lofts at Brooklyn Park, a new waterfront park. The building were warehouses in the 1920′s, so they have a fairly long history on the East River. I really love the … Continue reading →

Picture that really captures the feel of New York City

When I was in New York, I took several bus tours in an effort to get my bearings and see the main sights. Probably given the short time I had, it was too many bus tours but I got the buffet! Anyway, one of my favorite comments of the trip came on a bus. The tour guide was already a bit… different…  but then traffic or construction or something unexpected caused a street to be closed and suddenly our bus was hurtling down a nondescript street that she had nothing … Continue reading →

Graphic Novel Styled Picture of New York City at Night

New York has a well earned reputation for the city that never sleeps and the night lights are a must see for anyone visiting.    Aside from just walking and enjoying (recommended), there are also open top bus tours of the night lights that are great fun. This is perhaps my favorite photo from the open top bus, and every time I look at it, I anticipate finding a caped crusader on the jagged outline of the buildings in the right portion of the photo. This picture is very much … Continue reading →

East River Photo of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan

Certainly one of New York City’s most famous bridges is the Brooklyn Bridge which connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.  It’s the oldest suspension bridge in the US and met with some misfortune for the builders in the 13 years it took to complete.  The bridge was massively over-built which is why it has survived so long compared to bridges of the same vintage (1880′s) have long since vanished. This is a picture of that iconic bridge from the water.  Where ferries once crossed the East River to Brooklyn, this mammoth … Continue reading →

New York City Photo - from the water looking at the Manhattan Skylne

Despite taking so long to finally visit the largest city in my own country, it was well worth the visit!  Five nights in New York could barely be described as brushing the surface, but I feel like I got some really wonderful photos out of it and would happily repeat the experience. The skyline in New York is fairly amazing.  I think it’s the sheer density that the isle of Manhattan requires for so many people to live and work there.  The large buildings stand shoulder to shoulder in a … Continue reading →
