NYC Nights - Hunters Point South Park | Long Island City, Queens

About

It’s an especially remarkable time to be alive when it comes to capturing moments, whatever your device of choice. Options are aplenty - phones, still and video cameras with multiple prosumer or professional abilities, capable of amazing deeds. The variety of quality generated is subjective, and within the grasp of anyone having the desire, will, and means to participate.

My particular devotion to this art form began in 1990, and has continued evolving into 2024 (and hopefully beyond). Residing within New York City since April 1991 (excluding a 7 month odyssey spent in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania) I’ve accrued quite a wealth of real world photographic experience. It’s not that complicated - size a situation up, utilize knowledge from previous adventures and have at it boom!

Having technology to compliment the aforementioned goes without saying, from hardware to software. Flexibility, comprehension, willingness to embrace the unknown as much as known, kinda essential to a healthy productive work flow. And, of course, having fun, which has only gotten more integral over the years (interesting how life has that effect).
