(Feb 7) To the city and back.

it is blue
We meet again, old friend.

electric go bye bye
Hicksville. No, really.

moon over hicksville
It appears to be full

on the way to somewhere else
I wait, and watch the cars go by

diesel locomotion
Until it arrives, and I depart.

(Jan 8) Suddenly, nothing happened. I am still in Port Jefferson, apparently for the year. But it doesn’t feel like home either.

burned
There’s been a fire

it wasn't a residence, whatever it was
I don’t really remember what was here.

peace
Through the woods

waiting
Past the train yard

for now
Toward where I sleep

Behind the windshield

flowers
Art?

Or litter?

(Aug 30) August in Miller Place finally ends.

everything's gone gray
My very first photos as a child were in fact, black & white. Another thing I caught just the tail end of.

toadstools
It’s not that there was no color film when I was a child. Color had been commonplace since my parents time. But B&W was still cheaper, though not for very long.

we're not in kansas anymore, toto
Today of course, we’ve gone from B&W film being more expensive than color, to film itself in danger of extinction.

that toadstool has a tumor growing on it
I haven’t shot on film in twelve years now.

or a tiny pumpkin
If I recall correctly, my very first photos were similar to these,

at fungus eye level
photos of the yard.

toyota
In other news, … My wheels for the summer.

(Jun 15) This photoblog now bids adieu to the Sony DSC-N2 I bought in a rush to replace the short-lived Sony whatever that came after the Sony Minidisc, which came after the Kodak somethingorother. My main concern when buying the N2 was that Billy was nearing the end of his days.

Also… I have the use of a car. Photographically, this sort of changes everything.

old car
But first, from the phone one night.

just a lot of woods
The park around the corner. Still haven’t figured out what the deal with it is.

adopt-a-fake-pet
Now that St. Vincent’s is closed, I wonder what happens to the monuments?

moo.
“Our milk is fresh”?

at least they're trying to make lemonade from lemons
Construction in the city happens at a glacial pace.
