My Passion for MALIBU

Ed Norton just bought this cottage for $12 million………concrete wall…..wood…..sliding doors……5 bedrooms….right on the ocean.

Years ago when I was interested in a Malibu cottage they were about $2 MILLION……….and now the sky is the limit.  OUCH!

45 MEN of MANHATTAN

None of my “subjects” posed…….I just snapped their photo and walked away.

Yes, New York is a “melting pot”……that is why we love living here.

The DAKOTA under Snow

The DAKOTA APARTMENTS has been sitting on this corner of Central Park West since 1881. Opera stars, movie stars, famous artists and singers. The BEATLE, John Lennon was murdered here ………Yoko Ono still lives there.

I love looking out my art studio window at all the dormers, gables, steep roofs, terra-cotta spandrels, panels, niches, balconies and balustrades.  I never tire of the view.

The Dakota is recognized as a National Historic Landmark.

MY FACE OR YOURS?

WHY do I love New York so.  The variety of people.  The faces.  They are everywhere.  A photographers virtual feast.

This MIME was entertaining in the subway.  He was pissed that I took his photo and didn’t drop a dollar into his hat ……….{he was so awful}.

Magazines, buildings, flea markets, on the street………I come face to face with new faces every day.  I can’t resist snapping a photo.

Is this pensive enough for you?

40 FACES that looked me in the face!

Well………maybe I looked them in the face.  I snapped about 100 this week but chose these for my blog.  More will follow.

Most of these were shot at the 25th street GARAGE flea market.  Others here and there on the streets of New York.
