The Pieta (St. Patrick's Cathedral - New York City, New York)

The Pieta was sculpted in 1906 by William Ordway Partiridge. It was inspired by Michelangelo's Pieta in St. Peter's Cathedral at the Vatican in Rome. Photo credit goes to The Boss.

Last night, I was browsing through my September '98 issue of Popular Photography. Lo and behold, pages 84 & 85 featured the same exact scene! The difference being that the featured image was shot with a fish-eye lens.

Jumping to the ads section I couldn't help but notice the absence of DSLRs. B&H featured Kodak's DCS-420/410, DCS-460, DCS-520/EOS-2000. Nikon and Canon had the F-5 and EOS-1N as their flagship bodies, respectively. Do you remember these cameras?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost their lives and loved ones in this tragic event.

This was shot sometime in July 2001 when the World Trade Center still stood tall in NYC.

*** This is an old upload from 2007. I thought it fitting to bring it to the top to remember that day in 2001. ***

Haven't had the chance to shoot anything new lately. I hope to make it into Philly over the weekend and capture some city scenes. Since it's already Friday somewhere, here's my favorite picket fence with a different bokeh rendering. Happy Friday, friends!

These hand-made custom bicycles had a price range upward of $2000! I doubt the builder sold any that day. As seen at the recently concluded 2011 Moonlight Memories Car Show in Hatboro, PA.

My travel plans have changed. Instead of driving to Boston today, I am sitting out the hurricane and leaving on Tuesday instead. Go away, Irene!

Hurricane Irene has begun its lumbering march up the East Coast of United States. Hurricane Irene has made landfall near Cape Lookout, North Carolina. This ends the near three-year gap of a hurricane making landfall along the United States coastline. ~ www.weather.com/weather/hurricanecentral/article/tropical...

Tettigoniids may be distinguished from grasshoppers by the length of their filamentous antennae, which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers' antennae are always relatively short and thickened.
