The old harbor in Baltimore is a great place to visit especially on a Saturday in summertime. Among the many attractions one of the highlights is the historic USS Constitution. Naturally the seafood but especially the crabs are to die for. What can I say I really like food better that pictures.

This system always appeared dead in arrival. The sensor was simply too small. It never went anywhere The Nikon 1 series came to the market on September 21, 2011, with the release of the Nikon 1 J1 and Nikon 1 V1 cameras. Since then, there have been 11 different cameras and 12 different lenses released for the Nikon 1 system, along with a collection of accessories including flashes, cases, GPS units and more. The market response was never great. The move to kill off the Nikon 1 line shouldn't come as a surprise. In addition to the rumors flying around, the newest camera in the lineup was launched more than three years ago on April 2, 2015. Add to that last year's statement from Tetsuro Goto, Director of Laboratory Research and Development at Nikon Japan, who told Chinese website Xitek, 'full frame is the trend [...] if Nikon will go mirrorless it must be full frame,' the writing has been on the wall for some time.

These almost ethereal poppies were shot with my old Olympus E PL-2. It has a soft focus setting that is to die for. This camera shows it's age but it outputs great images when called upon. Naturally, these fine poppies were at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  

These images were recently shot at an event for children at Juniper Valley Park in Queens, NYC. An organization known as the Maspeth Town Hall sponsored. This teenager was very enthusiastic in making cotton candy and that smile was priceless.

This preacher was practicing his act at Rockefeller Center way back in 1973. What is always interesting to wonder where the audience is today, or how have the passing years treated them. In the image they are all very lively. Photography has this uncanny quality that freezes a moment in time. This Kodachrome II slide was shot on a Leica M2R with the 35mm Summicron f2 lens. This w as  combination made in h eaven.  

This is a very pleasant All American kind of town that is undergoing a rehabilitation of it's small down town area. A very nice place to visit.
