For the last few years I have looked in the rear view mirror to find my father looking back at me. This is what gave me the inspiration for this picture.
What a Fathers Day! To have an adult male and a juvenile Greater Spotted Woodpecker in the garden at the same time and feeding on the same tree, a Buddleia, on Fathers Day.

The fall of 1999 rolled around and with nobody lined up to take a week off with I had the idea of asking my dad. After getting my drivers license that was the end of dad being along . I had hoped the Battenkill was running freight on this day but a charter passenger train was the only move. As we waited for this shot dad walked around downtown looking at the old buildings. Now with the train close he came around the corner of the station to watch. For a half a second I was ready to yell to get him out of the picture as we seem to do in this hobby. Without using the people filter dad was now in the tele-shot. At the time I had not a hint dad would pass a year later making me so happy I thought for that one second. Happy Fathers Day Cambridge , N.Y. Oct. 1999
My father turned 87 last week. He now has vascular dementia, which means he is forgetting more and more.
An alternative view of the modern Father Bernatek footbridge in Krakow. I loved the symmetry of the structure underneath, while everyone photographs the upper side with its suspended sculptures.

This was taken near the corner of 24th and Folsom, in the Mission District of San Francisco.

************************
In early November 2015, I flew from New York to San Francisco to take a weekend street-photography workshop under the tutelage of Eric Kim. As you might expect, I took gazillions of photos; but not all of them were specifically associated with the workshop itself. On the way out to San Francisco, I took a bunch of pictures with my iPhone; and during the weekend, I took a number of photos that had little or nothing to do with street-photography per se.
I’ll upload the photos in dribs and drabs during the next several days, and let you decide which ones are sufficiently interesting to warrant a second look…
This was taken on Broadway, between 92nd and 93rd Street.
It might only be for a nanosecond that the relationship between a father and his teenage son is strong enough that you would consider them a "couple" ... but I think that's what we're seeing here.

This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008 (which you can see in this Flickr set), and continued throughout 2009-2014 (as shown in this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set, this Flickr set)
), this Flickr set)
), and this Flickr set)
): a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. These are the people in my neighborhood, aka "peeps in the 'hood."
As I indicated when I first started this project six years ago, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a zoom telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me. Sometimes I find an empty bench on a busy street corner, and just sit quietly for an hour, watching people hustling past on the other side of the street; they're almost always so busy listening to their iPod, or talking on their cellphone, or daydreaming about something, that they never look up and see me aiming my camera in their direction.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep my camera switched on, and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject. Indeed, some of my most interesting photos have been so-called "hip shots," where I don't even bother to raise the camera up to my eye; I just keep the zoom lens set to the maximum wide-angle aperture, point in the general direction of the subject, and take several shots. As long as I can keep the shutter speed fairly high (which sometimes requires a fairly high ISO setting), I can usually get some fairly crisp shots -- even if the subject is walking in one direction, and I'm walking in the other direction, while I'm snapping the photos.
With only a few exceptions, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are plenty of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. There have been a few opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. This is one example, and here is another example.
The other thing I've noticed, while carrying on this project for the past six years, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... unfortunately, there was just nothing memorable about them. They're all part of this big, crowded city; but for better or worse, there are an awful lot that you won't see in these Flickr sets of mine...
Camera Test:
GF1 x 50mm Summicron M Mount
A friend of my father lent me a M mount so that I could load my 50mm Summicron and Summarit to the GF-1. More surprisingly, he passed me a Cosina 15mm F4.5 : )
Even though this combination is not new, I am still stunned by the image quality.
M43 x Leica M Mount = Highly recommended : )

A rare picture of maxxxi taking a photo with her new mobile phone taken by me with my new mobile!!
It was father day and the weather was beautiful so I popped up to my dads allotment to try out my new camera phone on dads lovely veg……… there’s a small area put to one side for mum to grow flowers…there I found these amazing seed heads next to some panes of cloche or greenhouse glass. I was trying to capture the multiple refracted reflection of the seeds in the glass ……didn‘t realise till I uploaded to my computer that I‘d captured myself too !!! ……oh well never mind!

I love this picture of my husband and C. For C to pass out like this is very rare. He never falls asleep in his stroller or when he's held. No matter how exhausted he is - he'll just fight it and keep going. When I turned around and saw him asleep I snapped a quick one. Note that he's still holding on to his shovel. Such sweetness.
Happy Thursday Flickr friends! Wishing you all a great day.
