One day back in 2003 I was walking around the meatpacking district in Manhattan and we wandered into the Chelsea Market. At the back, there was loud Tango music playing and dozens of couples were dancing. I snapped this with my old 35mm camera. I think this photo right here sums up why I’d like ...
I think I’m going to try to take a picture of mom every day that I’m with her from this point forward. I doubt I’ll put them all up here, but I want to take them. These are the pictures for the last couple of days: The monkey is from one of our last day trips ...

He claimed he had never made them before, ever. My nieces were home from college and I managed to get a couple shots of them ...
