Bridge

I made this from a picture I took a few months ago to use for screen printing to a shirt. The first print didn't come out that good so I'm going to try it again when we get more materials.

Lit up

This building on Broad Street was lit up like this the other night in Philly. Either the lighting is new, or I just never noticed it before.. which would be strange.

It's quite noticeable. This is a shot I got while driving, but I like the angle and the colors.

Bar scene

An interesting shot I took last night at the Oar House bar. I like the blue lighting and the way it's focused more on the glass of beer but you can see the bar lights as well. That was a tasty drink, too!

Boston Autumn

More from Boston, this is Sunset behind the Bunker Hill Bridge. It was a great sight, and if I looked behind me from the spot I took this picture, I'd see the full moon rising over the boats in the harbor from the last set of pictures I posted.


A scene of fall from the middle of Boston Common.

The first signs of the season we saw outside the city on a steep hill. We had to stop.

City nights

These are from my recent trip to New York, walking from Brooklyn over the bridge into Manhattan. It's an awesome experience, so if you like these pictures, you should go try it out!

This is actually from Boston, moonrise over a shipyard on the Charles River.

Sunsets & night in big cities & small

It's been a while so I had to add a few things here. While driving around town the other day, I noticed a beautiful sunset sky, so I found this place by Union Lake that was a perfect place to enjoy a a great view.

I took a trip to Philly and the vicinity last week. This bridge is in a nice park just a few minutes outside of the city.

A view of the skyline over the Schuykill River.

The skyline rising up behind I-76.

The old waterworks behind the Art Museum at sunset.

Stars & Power lines

This picture was taken at night on Union Road. The stars were out to play, so i think it came out really good. It's a little dark, but this is the best one I got. (PS - Click it to make it bigger and it looks better)

Casino on the River

We went to Atlantic City last night. This is probably one of favorite shots from the 322 bridge. We're still near the residential area but you can see the lights leading to the Borgata in the background.

Man vs. Wild

I took a walk around Millville today to find this going on at a place where my grandfather used to take me for walks. It used to be very wooded hills, now it's open and flat. All in the name of making Millville a nicer place to visit I guess.

Treads that compact memories of walks and talks into the ground to make way for future walks and talks.

Trails

The other day Ryan and I took a trip to the Wissahickon park on the other side of Philadelphia to find some sights that make it hard to believe we're so close to the big city. This was the view from the center of a beautiful, large stream.

Underneath the same bridge.

This rocky path welcomed us away from the traffic of I-76 and into the woods.

Nature & the city

I always try to take pictures like this, but it's hard to get small creatures to cooperate usually. I guess the butterflies in Philadelphia aren't as flighty as the ones around here. Anyway, this was taken on Spring Garden Street in Philly, believe it or not.

I like this picture a lot. These flowers were just growing out on the sidewalk, unbothered by pedestrian traffic. And with a good view of the skyline, how could I resist?

Stars aren't out tonight

You get two pictures since I take too long in between posts lately. I'll try to fix that. Anyway, here are some stars reflecting from across the street.. make a wish?

This is a Masonic Temple across from City Hall in Philly. The awning is from a hotel, I think. The darkness of the building kind of gives the impression of the mystery that surrounds the masons and their history.

Empty Subway Station

Philly subway stations at midnight are vacant space.

Exit Sign

I think I like this picture because you know where you are, but it's not the typical skyline over the beach picture, it gives you a feel for the bustling nature of the city, but still has the rising casino in the background.

Rock n Roll

This is from the Chevelle concert I attended the other night in Sayreville. I like that you can't see any real details, I think it's just awesome that you can feel the rock in the picture. You could feel it in the crowd too, they were going nuts.

Love

This is Love Park at night in front of the fountain. Philly at night is really nice, I like just walking around when there's not a big crowd of people everywhere.

Countertop

This isn't a favorite photo or anything, it just tells the story of today. The cheese in the bottom corner is from the "Pretzel Factory" (not the real one, the store they put in the new shopping center.) The liquor and ice cream was inspired by the drink we had last night at Olive Garden, a Chocolate Almond Amore. It was quite fantastic then and ours rivaled that. Lastly, the Cheez-Its were purchased for the bonfire that didn't happen (lame) but the night was great anyway cuz we made it that way.

Campus View

This was one of the first sights I got to check out on my unofficial tour of the Rutgers campus yesterday. It's a pretty sweet view and a really nice campus. But, my tour guide has a way of making everything even better than it already is, so you decide how nice this is! Being there just made me really anxious to be a student there in the fall. Can't wait..

Lunar

This post required multiple pictures to show that i wasn't just taking a picture of a quarter moon with the camera on its side. We spent the wee hours of this morning at East Point looking at the sky as the moon slowly went from full to a sliver of white on the edge of a red circle. It was pretty awesome at times, despite the bugs. Plus, afterwards I was treated to a bowl of Cookie Crisp. Sweet.

Japanese Restaurant

This is from my favorite place to get sushi. The tables are pretty awesome too.

Waikiki Sunset

This picture is from Hawaii the first night we were there. This beautiful sunset over Waikiki beach was two blocks from our hotel. It was an amazing sight and it set the tone for the rest of the trip.

From the Bridge

This is from on walking platform of the Ben Franklin Bridge looking at center city. I still don't know if you can walk all the way across, but it's a cool thing to do anyway, you should try it.

Dusk

This was taken last April at Liberty State Park. It's facing away from New York looking towards the town. The whole sky looked just as awesome as this as dusk set in. It was a beautiful night.

Awaiting the Fight

This picture is from Gettysburg, PA. We went camping there almost two years ago and it was a perfect day to walk around. I really like this statue in front of the sun; I can imagine a soldier really standing here and taking in the great view of sunset, getting ready to rest that night for the next day's battle.

Deliver us from Boredom

This is a depiction of how bored I was today. I left my house for a drive in the rain and went to a cemetary. Not much else I can say about that...

Waterfalls

Since nothing photo-worthy occurred today, at least not where I could see it, I figured I'd put up this picture from Thunder Swamp where Ryan and I had our failed hiking trip. This was an awesome place though; I was sitting on a rock with my feet in the water, just listening to the water and writing in my tiny notebook. It was a great place to sit and think, all you could hear was the water rushing over the rocks!

A Day at the Beach

We went to Wildwood today. Unfortunately, we didn't get to ride those wonderful amusements in the background of this picture, but the water was really nice (temperature-wise that is) and I may have gotten tan on something besides my forearms. I just picked this picture for the birds.

Mark the Date

A Gambling Problem

We went to Atlantic City to the Borgata tonight. Lots of money circulating there, but I just cashed in on the sights (a little gambling humor....) Anyway, I really liked this picture of the Borgata reflection on the window of a truck, it looks so awesome at night.

And....



I like this one for some reason. A reflection of the poker sign on the floor. I didn't think it was the greatest, but it looks a lot cooler when you're there, so that's why I put up the other one too!
