YO. Welcome to the Bronx.

"Dinner Time"

This studio still life was shot for a restaurant in Manhattan and I based it on paintings I have seen by classical Spanish painters of bodega scenes. All the animals are real and are served, cooked of course, in the restaurant.

Trying something different. Interested in any comments.

This photograph was taken just about this time of year, last year, at a lake in Oakdale, near Dowling College. I found this spot right off the side of the road and kept stopping there, day after day, waiting for a blue sky with white clouds while the foliage was at its peak. Shot with my Nikon D200, wide angle lens at F22. I used a slow shutter speed and my trusty ole' tripod.

This is an image I call "Bronx Geometry". It is currently hanging in a gallery in Huntington - B.J. Spoke Gallery, 299 Main Street.  It is printed on brushed aluminum and is approx 5' x 4'. The Show is called "Geometric Constructions and Abstractions.  I have another print in the how as well. It is also a l,rage, 4' x 5' print on brushed aluminum and is in the front window of the gallery. Pleas drop by for the opening reception if you are around - Sunday, October 9th, 2-5pm. Free refreshments!!!
