Nothing ever really changes
These children are playing on the same cement blocks I did with my friends many years ago. Although they now all have their all have smartphones now and dress just like American kids, these blocks remains. Their function is to protect the castle from rough waves. These photos were shot last Deember.

New Nikon software
Nikon Capture NX-D-1.0.0 is here.
Nikon has just released their version 1.0.0 of Capture NX-D, introduced in beta
form earlier this year. I was never able to like the NX version of Capture. Cannot stand the interface. The pre NX Capture was ideal for me. Using Lightroom I do not see what the big deal is. NX-D is the first version of Nikon's
flagship Raw converter since previous developer Nik Software became
part of Google's empire in 2012. The software has a new user interface, batch
conversion and the usual non-destructive workflow that saves adjustments in parallell files along with the original images. You may like this if you like the interface.

Pulling photos out of a hat
What I mean is that photos are all over and a scene that normally can and really is not pretty, with the proper light, composition and post editing, can become acceptable or even pretty. Here we are again under the I 495 in Long Island City, Queens and this is the notorious Newtown Creek a polluted body of water that slowly is being cleaned up.
