I've been taking photos since I was 19. So some of my photos are scanned 35mm slides done by a professional lab. Some are just snapshots; and they will never win awards, but I post them anyway, along with family photos, so that they will be preserved ----Mom and Dad's old B&W photos are in remarkable shape, considering they are from the 40's and 50's (I haven't started that project yet, mainly because it will take forever to scan/copy/photograph the prints; ----- the negatives, I will send out to a lab)

I also post amateur video taken by me. Though most of my videos are poor technically, (Steven Spielberg has nothing to worry about) they have sentimental value; and some have historical value ( Eric Garner March video, Occupy Wall Street video, and currently the marches for Palestine in New York City which I am proud to photograph, video, and march in)) so I post them here and on youtube to preserve them )

So forgive me if some photos and videos are of poor quality. The memories are priceless. I do hope you like some of them.

I shoot with a Sony RX100M7 ( The Sony RX100M1 1st generation died after five years of cruel and unusual punishment--I recently got lucky on Ebay and bought a used RX100M7 with a a gimbal for a great price-- I also shoot with a Samsung NX500--- it's noisy and OIS broke so I would never recommend any Samsung cameras) Just got a full frame Sony A7ii. It's an old camera, but a good camera for still photography imho. I am mostly a street photographer who travels sometimes. I use a small, compact camera when I travel, to keep the weight down (The years have not been kind to my back, feet, etc., hence the compact camera vs the 5lb. DSLR anchor) The Sony A7ii is not to heavy, so I'm ok with it. Hoping it does not have any overheating issues which seems to be a common problem with many Sony models. I think the Sony A7iii is a better update. The A7ii is a tank but slow to focus for moving parades and marches which I shoot. It's got great OIS that's for sure but 1080P video is crap. But for still photography (forget about sports or action shots) it's really good. Mine shuts down in 20 degrees F frigid weather. I look forward to updating to the Sony A7iii, a much better camera. Of course there is a 4 and 5 update but that is to expensive. I'm blabing here. Hope you like some of my photos.

There are exceptional photographers on flickr. It inspires me to keep learning.

I'm blabbing alot here. ; Anyway, hope you enjoy my photos. I try to keep posting both old and new ones every week.

Thank you for visiting my flickr page.
