An Evening at Prospect Park

Balloons at one of the many barbeques held on Sunday evenings in Prospect Park.

A peaceful moment interrupted by a water gun.

Boys yearn to shoot others... with water.

A pigeon got very close to me while I modeled for a friend by Prospect Lake.

New Bamboo

My Findings

My new bamboo.

I found a '70s-era fan on the sidewalk in Park Slope. It's small, sturdy and functional.

Breakfast in Hoboken

At the Cinnamon Snail, a vegan food truck run by a man with a great imagination and fine plating skills. My buddy had the fresh fig pancakes with pine-nut butter and chamomile blood-orange syrup.

I had the 200-Year-Old Frog Man Breakfast Jamboree, which consisted of maple-pecan waffles with maple-pecan syrup, chipotle seitan, scrambled tofu and mustard greens. I later wished I had asked for the meal to stay so I could've had better plating for a nicer image.

Cat Hunk

I've started a new cat photography service called Cat Hunk.

Why cats? For all their allergy-producing dander and attitude, I still find them irresistible. I haven't yet acquired much experience photographing dogs, but the time will come for that, too.

So in the meantime, consider my offer, which I've advertised on Craigslist:

Your cat is a hunk. You know that. He knows that.

Let me capture your cat's essence in a 2-hour photo session for the introductory rate of $59, offered to the first three people who respond to this ad.

This limited-time offer includes a CD with at least 50 full-size jpg images of your cat at his (or her) best, with which you can do as you please. (We can talk if you'd also like a photo book to treasure.)

*Destination must be easily accessible via public transit and within a 1-hour commute of Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

Summer Views of Other People's Backyards

A rainy Sunday.

A sunny Saturday afternoon.

What Saturday evening looks like in my neighbor's backyard.

One Last Fireworks Photo

Because I think it looks spectacular.

Fireworks from Hoboken

I took a similar photo on an overcast day, from Pier A in Hoboken, N.J.

Downtown Manhattan, with boats lined up, awaiting the fireworks show. If you click on this photo to enlarge it, you can see the buildings turned a shimmering gold in the sunset.

Reminds me of Christmas lights.

Looks like Saturn on left.
