Trains [Sky Watch Friday]
Having grown up in New York City, I commuted to school and college via the subway. However, I never considered that really a train like the ones having a locomotive and traveling between cities. The latter is much more part of the fabric of life in Europe, and a much smaller portion of USA travel. Nevertheless, for me, there is something about trains and train stations that I find fascinating. Sometime ago, I posted images of graffiti painted on railroad cars. From that shoot, I discover some images left over that are appropriate for SWF posting; here they are.

Rochester Skies [Sky Watch Friday]
I’ve been away for quite some time, and got out of the habit of posting. It did not help that I had depleted my cache of photos earmarked for SWF. So, today I will venture back for a visit and share two images that that I made with my trusty cell phone camera. The shot below was taken after I had exited Image City Gallery, after our monthly get-together discussing our photo assignments. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. The steel sculpture stands right on the street [University Ave.], which runs through the Neighborhood of the Arts [NOTA]; and the Memorial Art Gallery is a few hundred yards further up the road.
The shot below is one I had been intending to take for a long time. The building, which I frequently drive past, houses a fitness center and some offices. It has been a repulsive eyesore for years. Oddly enough, it is also on University Ave., only ca. 2 miles east of NOTA.

Image City Gallery Assignments [April 2017]
For this month’s assignment, we were to take photographs that we specifically wanted to use for B&W images. The images below were originally shot with my LG4 cell phone. In both cases, for months on end, I had been thinking about shooting these. The assignment provided the motivation to finally get to it. For comparison, I include the original color image along with the edited B&W image.
The rack of medicine balls is located in the Midtown Athletic Club where I regularly work out, swim [the outdoor pool opened April 1], or play tennis.
This last image is a building not far from where I live. It has been a ugly eyesore for several years, and I don’t understand why/how it has escaped the attention of any neighborhood group. be that as it may, it provided a good photo-op.
