You can observe a lot by just looking around Yogi Berra Today was an open session with lots of show and tell... The first picture we saw was of our guest, Jonathan Green, with his f8 cap. Courtesy of Jim The next picture we saw was of Bryce National Park. Taken by Howard on his recent cross country trip with his daughter. The next picture sent in absentia was a recent "moon scape" Taken by Angelo The next discussion followed Bill & Kathy's recent trip to NYC for a "wall photo shoot" but included a day of sight seeing to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the 911 Memorial Museum. The narrative for the trip will not be reviewed in the blog today. Two of Bill's composite pictures from the Museum are hanging in Jones The title for both pictures : "Engine Company (Red & Blue)" The following pictures were taken by Kathy on the Lady Liberty and Ellis Island trip. Finally, Bill discussed one stop on his quest for walls in Brooklyn / Bowery.
Specifically, his encounter with the "190 Bowery Building" previously called the Germania Bank Building...now an historic site and its relationship to a well known photographer...Jay Maisel. Besides Jay's claim to fame in photography, he turned out to be an astute real estate investor buying the property for $100K in the 60's thats now worth $50Million. In his 80's, Jay is still active in photography running workshops in the 190 Building, publishing a recent book as well as producing his own portfolio of new pictures. Below is a link to his newest book project: http://potd.pdnonline.com/2014/10/28757 and to his website http://www.jaymaisel.com
