Comet Neowise over Shinnecock Bay

Comet Neowise over Shinnecock Bay. I went out to see the new comet and at first couldn’t find the comet. Then out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a flash of light. I trapped a pair of binoculars and found the comet. it was very faint in the sky but I felt that I could get a photo with a long exposure. There was a lot of local light pollution to contend with but after several exposures the above image was created

Web Site Update

it has been awhile since posting any updates. I have been busy creating new art but have been undecided about the future of this website. For now it will stay the same and I will be trying to post on a regular basis.

Peonies

Currently I am not working on any specific projects. It gives me the opportunity to have some fun taking random photos. A few days ago I was looking at my wife’s garden and her peonies. They are an old variety not seldom seen. They are all white with a touch of yellow and red in their centers. i have photographed them over the years when in bloom and sold an image of a tight close up of the flower in full bloom, but I have always been intrigued with the flowers as they decayed. Below are a three such photos of the decaying flowers.

Commercial Fishing Nets

I spent a couple of days this winter hanging around the commercial fishing docks in Montauk and Hampton Bays.
