“Jade Drops” is along the same vein as “Cool Abstraction” in the idea that I don’t exactly recall where this picture was taken, only that it was either in or around the vicinity of the Katharine Hepburn Garden in NYC. While it may have been an art installation, sculpture or just a macro shot of plastic trash, I am just grateful that I had the foresight to capture the moment to preserve it in my catalog.
Jolly Green Greenery
This shot was taken at the southern end of Randall’s Island, which lies in the East River between Manhattan and Queens. There are bike and jogging paths galore, baseball diamonds, a small secluded beach as well as a gorgeous view of my favourite bridge, the Hell Gate Bridge. The east river “flows” differently here than in most other places - the water swirl and eddies, yet acts as though the the river itself is alive. The current is unpredictable - it slightly reverses direction, circles back on itself, slithers over here and there. Then of course there are all the gurgles and splashes as the river currents collide with one another. It’s akin to watching clouds move across the sky, in that after a moment or two you are mesmerized and lost in the voice and movements.
