This old barn is off route 590 in North Eastern Pennsylvania. I took this shot using a 6X6 fortmat camera [120 film].

This is an industrial area under Interstate 495 in Queens, NYC. In it's industrial  unsightliness it has it's charm at least from a photographic point of view. What can I say.

A wonderful Saturday afternoon at the Rose Garden of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The roses where  being watered and  we got wet while enjoying  the spray of the water. It was June and all was well. It is nice to be a child again.

Two images shot at dusk of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania .
