Closing out the season; until next time
This is a shot of the Christmas tree at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It's decorated with exquisite Neapolitan figurines and it's an annual must during Christmas time.

We want to wish all the best to our visitors and followers. Looking forward to another year of nice photos. Thank you all for visiting.
The Fulton Ferry Landing
The Fulton Ferry Landing used to be part of the city's maritime transportation system. It was the Brooklyn end of a ferry that went from Manhattan to Brooklyn. After years of neglect, the landing was restored as part of a plan to improve this valuable area of the city. The late day light makes for a stronger image. It was shot on Kodachrome X that had a speed of 64. This accounts for the slight softness of the images.
This year's tree
A few days ago I posted photos of the three at Rockefeller Center of 1975. It looked the same as the present one. It's very hard to take an image that is different but I always try. These are photos taken yesterday.
Vintage street photography
Here are some samples from the street photography I enjoyed making in the seventies. Classic photos of New York in the seventies. They were all shot on Ektachrome with the Leica M-4 but two were converted to black and white for technical reasons because the original slides had developed serious color shifts.
