Polar Bear Plunge, January 1, 2012
This was my first time at the New Year’s Day Polar Bear Plunge out at Coney Island. I have no idea if it’s always this crowded or if the unusually sunny and warm day brought extra people. It was really a blast.

Autumn Afternoon, Prospect Park, November 2011
Last week I checked the LightTrac app on my iPad to figure out the optimal time / place for late afternoon sun streams. Here are the resulting photos.

After a cold and snowy weekend, the weather turned mild for a Monday night Halloween parade. Had a great time wandering the crowded streets with my new friend Eric. Unfortunately, in the dark I didn’t notice that the camera got switched to MF halfway through the night, so many good shots were otherwise ruined.

Occupy Wall Street, October 2011
The first time I stopped by OWS the tourists, photographers and police outnumbered the protesters. My second visit a few weeks later showed me a very different scene. It looks like they are settled in for the long haul. Let’s just hope that the city and NYPD can keep their cool.

Lunar New Year Parade, February 2010
I had a gay old time photographing the Chinese / Lunar New Year Parade in Chinatown, NYC. Unlike Tiger (2010), Ox (2009) and Rat (2008) the Year of the Rabbit brought quite a bit of whimsy to the event.
Not everyone was all fuzzy ears and smiles, however:
Last fall I spent a whole afternoon wandering around the spookily desolate olympic stadium grounds in Montreal. Aside from a few athletes, a handful of Japanese tourists going to the tower, and a kid practicing parkour, the place was deserted. (wikipedia)

I was out of town over Christmas, so missed the big snowmageddon. But mother nature gave us another 6 inches or so for me to play with.

Although some of the less hardy animals are on vacation (do they go to Miami?) a winter day makes for a nice crowd-free visit to the zoo.
