  • Figures Within a Face Artwork Found in Trash on Brooklyn Sidewalk

    Figures and faces artwork on a bookshelf among trash on a Brooklyn sidewalk, Feb. 2024.

    I saw this figures within a face artwork drawn on a white bookshelf among some trash on the sidewalk in Brooklyn yesterday. Its inventiveness caught my attention despite carrying a load of groceries back home.

  • Full Moon Rising

    Last Saturday night, I hung out of our apartment window to capture this image of the full moon with my Lumix G85 camera with a 45-150 lens. If I had gone outside, found a straight view, and used the tripod, I know that I could have got a clearer and more focused shot. This was just a bit of fun. Next chance, I’ll do it right.

    While walking in Green-Wood Cemetery, I recently approached this beautiful memorial for Benjamin Franklin Romaine. A bronze angel holding a hammer and chisel sits in repose of its completed work creating this monument.

    Jeff Richman discovered the name of the angel’s sculptor as Raffaello Romanelli. He explains how he worked it out in this blog post on the official cemetery’s website.

    Below are close-up photos of the sculpture.

  • Life Finds a Way

    When I began working on my 2013 Toyota Corolla in December 2023, I discovered this paper wasp nest built onto a bolt connecting the door hinge to the driver side front door. It was a tiny marvel of engineering in a sheltered area of an otherwise inhospitable environment.
