Cape May, New Jersey

Something that amuses me (and I'm not sure why) is taking a picture of someone taking a picture. I think it might be because when one takes a photo, they are capturing a moment that means something speical to them and in a sense, I'm capturing them at that moment.

Beach Traffic

This was the crowd to go to the beach...on a Thursday. I can't show you the weekend pictures, I wasn't brave enough to stay and take any ;)

Shot Glasses

Flags and Buildings

Once upon a time,

in a land far (or not so far) away lived a girl who grew up in the country. Fresh air, trees, cows, cats, grass, acres of land, farms, a forest and most importantly, birds that startled easily and flew away at the first sight of a human.

Then, this girl moved to a land with not so many trees, no farms to speak of and land that was not free roaming but taken up with buildings and diners. More importantly, she could approach the birds, standing practically a foot away and they would never fly away from her, startled and scared.

Well, needless to say, this made the girl rather nervous. Where she came from, one could not be 10 steps away from a bird before the bird took off like a jet. But now, they came 10 steps away from her and she got scared and ran off.

So, what did she do to overcome this small fear of birds-too-damn-close-for-her-own-comfort?

She took a picture of them.

And is happy to report....they still make her a bit nervous. ;)

But she lived happily ever after with birds that wouldn't fly away. And they were happy too.

Another shot of the NYC Public Library.

I may not be around much for the next few days, I have some finals to study for and lots of reading left to do. I'll catch up with everyone as soon as possible.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Window

Window

I took this shot while inside the New York Public Library. I didn't actually get a chance to go inside to the book section, but next time I will.

This is simply a shot of a window in the library looking out. The library (or at least the lobby) is quite elegant looking, mostly marbel and the annoyance of security, but I guess we can't be too careful these days.

NYC T-Shirts

A generic picutre of some souvineers one can pick up in the city. Actually, these can come pretty cheap (I saw a sign for 8 shirts for $10. Not too bad considering... ;)

From the New York Public Library

This is taken from the top stairs of the New York Public Library looking out onto 5th Avenue. It was quite hot outside today, which explains why everyone is in the shade. But a good day, nonetheless.
