A cold morning

DSC09290-FraminghamFactory_
With the thanksgiving turkey flavor still in my mouth, I was all energized to face the elements on this cold and beautiful November morning. For a long time I had in mind to shoot this old factory building in Saxonville, Framingham, Massachusetts. I drive by there on a fairly regular basis. And although there is nothing really special about this building, for some reason it always showed a certain beauty sitting next to the lake. Read More...

Fall Impressions in New England

Throughout of the month of October I went out on various occasions and tried to capture the mood of this years fall. The result is a collection of reds, yellows, greens and browns. Some of these images make me understand when I heard someone years ago say that late fall produces a warm brown tone, no matter whether the sun shines or it rains. This is a nice summary showing the different moods light at different times of the day can create. And daylight is just so much more workable in fall than it is in the summer or even spring.

An all new homepage

After a while of thinking and pondering, I came finally up with a home(front) page design that I really like. For those of of you that did not see the old front page - well, you did not miss much. I will try and keep the slideshow there somewhat up to date and will exchange the pictures over time. I hope you like it. Let me know if you don't.

It's fall outside

the colors of fall in Marlborough, Massachusetts
This morning, well, the late morning I stepped outside my house and saw this. I simply wanted to share this absolutely stunning view - I guess I can enjoy this for a couple of more weeks before this grim winter is moving in.... The farmers almanac says it is going to be one - and if you can not believe those guys, who can you trust?

Colored maple leaves in New England
The foliage is, or actually can be, quite a feast for the eyes. Hence the annual foliage in New England is followed and well documented on the net. I hope I will make it to some cool spots this fall - depending on how this evening goes, I actually might head out down Rt. 2 towards southern Vermont, where the foliage is about to peak. Waiting for it to happen is Massachusetts can go both ways: it either gets really gorgeous, or it simply never really makes here leaving the trees in an average brown. Not very desirable.... So, off to Vermont I guess...

An overdue portfolio facelift

Since this site opened in July 2008, there has not much been going on in the portfolios. Despite the fact that I have quite a few portfolio worthy images uploaded in the fotocommunity, they never made it to my site here. There are also plenty of photos to be worked on from last years trip to Southeast Asia. I just hope that one day in the near future, I will be able to get an album together, similar to the Hong Kong Experience.
The Boston Police on Bikes in full force
Changes have been made to the Citiyside and Flea Market portfolios. I am very happy about finally adding some street photography pictures to the Cityside since this does loosen up the collection of mainly architectural photos that have been in there so far. I am also very fond of the photograph of the stage practice of the Necessary Stage in Singapore while visiting a dear friend of mine. I had a chance of observing the preparations of a rather interesting play called "Good People".
preparation of a play at the little stage in Singapore
The play was set in a hospice and dealt with the relationship of three people, the medical director, a nurse and the ill patient consuming marijuana for pain relieve. I think the setting was in a country were marijuana is as illegal as in Singapore itself. I never had a chance to watch the actual play, but observing the preparations was a lot of fun....

The perfect Fall weekend. The foliage not being at its peak, but warm enough to to have a fall BBQ: Lamb wrapped in steak, grilled to perfection. Came with a delicious, significant amount of red wine. Well, later that night, the phone rang and I agreed to a photo shoot with Ian the next morning. Shortly after the alarm clock went off and, after meeting at the Mall, we were to off lovely Fitchburg, Massachusetts. We drove around the downtown area until we found something that caught our interest. Read More...

The Hong Kong experience

The need of leaving it all behind and a spontaneous idea brought us to the magnificent city of Hong Kong. With one week of planning I was not quite sure what to expect: Chinese tradition? Millions of bikes? Cars? Rikshas? Well, I figured I just go and see.... Read More...

Boston Caribbean Carnival.

Bookmark and Share

This was indeed an event I am always looking forward to. The carnival happens always on the last weekend in August, which is the weekend before Labour Day weekend. That made it complicated this year since Labour Day weekend was the last one in August.So what do do? The website was not very informative - they archive but don't announce there. Thank good I got a phone call just in time as a reminder - thanks Chicken. :D. Read More...

The final overhaul?

Bookmark and Share

I most certainly doubt it. But since its launch in early July 2008 this site finally grew out of its infanty. The overall appearance, as well as the photo viewer and the picture organization have changed. So that would be pretty much everything, correct? Well, welcome and enjoy the show...
