Time to Make theTacos

Posted by Imagery Photography on

We sat having lunch at Tacos and Tequila on the Blue Dock in Cancun enjoying tostadas and beer. The taco bowl that contained the fresh made guacamole was amazingly fresh and then I noticed the reason why. She could make these without looking and was positioned right in the front of the restaurant so people walking by could observe her skill. She was quiet and focused as she looked at the tourists walking by and every 30 to 45 seconds made another fresh taco shell.

I am The Iguana!

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I can not see an iguana without thinking of the character that Tim Kazurinsky created on Saturday Night Live in the 1980’s. There are Iguanas all over Mexico. We had one near our condo which we named Iggy Pop for some unknown reason. We found this gal in ruins of Tulum Mexico. I found out that the females are smooth like this and the males have spikes along their spine.

Tour Eiffel Remains Closed

Posted by Imagery Photography on

The Eiffel Tower remains closed today in the days following the cowardly bombings and murder in Paris. Although the creation of Gustave Eiffel’s masterpiece erected in 1889 was only supposed to a temporary entry arch for 1889 World’s Fair,it has remained to become the symbol of the city. I hope that soon the Champ de Mars is alive with people excited to ascend to the top and people flock to the Trocadero Plaza at sunset to see this sight.

Best Year for Color–2012

Posted by Imagery Photography on

Every year people flock to our state to see the beautiful Autumn foliage. If you don’t live in Pennsylvania you will be awed and happy you made the visit. However observing this every year makes some people, especially photographers obnoxious and cynical critics. Different weather factors impact the color. The temperature, humidity, rain fall and wind all impact how colorful and widespread the foliage panorama will appear.

2012 was the perfect storm for fall color in The Northeast. Of course it is a regional thing, one year the color may be better in Maine than Pennsylvania or New Hampshire may be the best. However, in 2012 it was prefect throughout the region. This is a 2012 flashback taken in October 2012 in the Pocono Mountains.

Cruz Bay…St. John USVI

Posted by Imagery Photography on

St. John in the United States Virgin Islands is one of the most laid back places on earth. 60% of the island is protected as Virgin Islands National Park, administered by the United States National Park Service. There is not a stop light on the island. There are two major resort hotels and a variety of restaurants and cafes. You get around the island by taking open air jitney cabs, walking or riding bikes. The snorkeling, hiking and beaches are some of the best in the world. I can’t wait to go back.

I just found this picture which was taken in Cruz Bay from the balcony of Pusser’s Grill in 1996. The restaurant is no longer there but I am sure the sunsets are still beautiful. I have posted this sunset before from the same dock on a different day.

A Light Through The Window

Posted by Imagery Photography on

This image could have been taken in a number of European cities. It was taken in Paris near the end of The 20th century. I was struck with the light coming through the top window and thinking it was a great apartment to live in. Now the steps would kill me.

Black Dog

Posted by Imagery Photography on

We were exploring a small town in Provence in the mountains near Saint Tropez. I kept constantly losing my family because it seemed that every twist and turn of the narrow streets held some photographic wonder. I stopped to photograph this small green door wondering what was behind it when this black dog tentatively peeked around the corner. I have never met a dog that frightened me but thought it was time to catch up with my family. The dog was French after all and probably hated tourists, especially ones with cameras.

Before The Sun Rises

Posted by Imagery Photography on

Sometimes the best views at sunrise are before the sun actually rises. This was shot right before a sunrise in Atlantic City.The beach at Atlantic City for a long time has been considered one of the best beaches on the East Coast. I remember going there as a teen and was just amazed at how wide the beach was and the fine white texture of the sand.

The city has gone through a lot of changes since my youth. However, the beach has been a constant and now thanks to conservationists will continue to be so. After Hurricane Sandy they planted all these beach grasses. These will help to hold the dunes in place and protect the beach from erosion. Way to go New Jersey!

Rainbow Optional

If I win the lottery this is where I would live. This was for sale last time I was in Maui and it is nestled directly on Kaanapali Beach on the walkway between Whalers Village and the Hilton Hotel. They were asking $1.1 million at the time and yes it did have a pool secluded in the back. Rainbow is optional but usually available.

A Windmill in Paris

Posted by Imagery Photography on

The Moulin de la Galette is a windmill and restaurant situated near the top of the district of Montmartre in Paris. It has been there since the 17th Century and at its base is the Le Moulin de la Galette which was the “hangout” of famous artists such as Renoir, van Gogh, and Pissarro. Le Moulin is still there and this shop keeper is opening his store in the early morning in Montmartre.
