I Lived NYC
These are some very cool little guys and girls that are all over a subway station in NYC.
Some of my favorite photos of this summer
At times I take photos every day while walking around the city, or just to and from work, or while visiting family. I used to share all my photos on here but ever since getting hooked on Instagram I seem to be sharing less and less, lets change that, from now on I will be sharing photos at least once per week, photos I’ve taken that week or some from years back since I do have a huge library of photos. Here are just a few from the last few photos from this summer, I’ve made a lot more photos but these are some of my favorites. Two are from Delray Beach FL, and the rest from my every day walks around downtown Orlando, FL.
The Story of My Reflections
If I could go back and relive the last few years of my life, I would relive each moment in exactly the same way. This simple realization emerged from deep internal reflection. Some people exercise or practice yoga, others meditate; I engage in walking meditation practice.

I love walking around the lake
I love walking around the lake capturing the natural views, the birds gather like they wanted to be photographed, and I love to make black and white photos of them.
Walking around Orlando making Black & White or Monochrome Photos
Walking around downtown Orlando, Florida capturing a few amazing black and white images, on a sunny day, then on a cloudy rainy afternoon. The first Black & White is was a late afternoon on Orange Avenue where the Sun was only hitting one corner of this building. The second Black and White image was a dark and very cloudy afternoon over the downtown Orlando Lynx Bus station. The last Black and White image is actually my favorite I was on my way home on a Lynx bus, it was raining and cloudy and water drips and drops were on the window, we were stuck in traffic for a while so I made a few images.

I’ve Opened an Amazon Shop
This is so exciting, I’ve opened up my very own shop on Amazon.com, check it out, let me know what you think. So far I have posters on photo paper and smartphone cases for Samsung and Apple iPhone. I consider myself to be an artist in the making and while I make art I will keep sharing my ideas and work with everyone, but I also would like to make a living from it. Amazon is the store for the world, as for right now I am only shipping within the US and Canada with Europe to come very soon.
Macro photography with an Android
These are just three macro photos I made last week while walking around downtown with music in my ears and pixel in hand. Macro photography is not really something I’ve ever done, but being that I’ve wanted to experiment with a few new genres why not. I even ordered some extensions for my Nikon lenses to see I can do some awesome new macro photos.
Macro photos according to Wikipedia.org
Macro photography (or photomacrography[1][2] or macrography,[3] and sometimes macrophotography[4]), is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects and living organisms like insects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size (though macrophotography technically refers to the art of making very large photographs).[3][5] By the original definition, a macro photograph is one in which the size of the subject on the negative or image sensor is life size or greater.[6] However, in some uses it refers to a finished photograph of a subject at greater than life size.[7]
The ratio of the subject size on the film plane (or sensor plane) to the actual subject size is known as the reproduction ratio. Likewise, a macro lens is classically a lens capable of reproduction ratios of at least 1:1, although it often refers to any lens with a large reproduction ratio, despite rarely exceeding 1:1.[7][8][9][10]
Apart from technical photography and film-based processes, where the size of the image on the negative or image sensor is the subject of discussion, the finished print or on-screen image more commonly lends a photograph its macro status. For example, when producing a 6×4 inch (15×10 cm) print using 35 format (36×24 mm) film or sensor, a life-size result is possible with a lens having only a 1:4 reproduction ratio.[11][12]
Reproduction ratios much greater than 10:1 are considered to be photomicrography, often achieved with digital microscope (photomicrography should not be confused with microphotography, the art of making very small photographs, such as for microforms).
Due to advances in sensor technology, today’s small-sensor digital cameras can rival the macro capabilities of a DSLR with a “true” macro lens, despite having a lower reproduction ratio, making macro photography more widely accessible at a lower cost.[9][13] In the digital age, a “true” macro photograph can be more practically defined as a photograph with a vertical subject height of 24 mm or less.[14]
