supermoon, take 2 (the big white ball)

i love my camera (a canon rebel xsi) and my lenses (a sigma 50mm 1.4 and a tamron zoom), but i was pretty sure neither lens, nor my little g10, would be able to offer a proper "picture" of the supermoon, as big and bright and clear as it was to my eye last night. but i went for it anyway.



super duper


by the time i heard about last evening's supermoon (hat tip to mfw), the clouds had come out to shroud it. was the moon BIG, the night clear, a few hours earlier?

well, here's the view from 38th street/park at 10:03 pm.
super? maybe not.
but not too shabby...


thundersnow 2011: awe and wonder

you knew i couldn't stay inside, right?

though i wasn't outside for long before the camera and i were soaked.

sweet: thundersnow 2011

park ave. 1am. dec 27, 2011.

fire...

a fire was called in from 125 park avenue (at 42nd street) at around 5:27 pm this evening.

how did it start? according to news reports, someone tossed a cigarette, which fell through the sidewalk grate, and began smoldering in a transformer box below street level.

this was the scene, an hour later.

firefighters had this under control by 7pm. no injuries reported...

Green is happening.
Through the sweet expectant chill
Of a northern spring
We have gone without will,

Without fear, without reason,
Trusting to the power
Of a fickle season,
Of a passionate hour,

To mature, to sustain
Till the plan uncovers
In the sun and rain.
Early lovers

Never question much
What is quietly beating
Through the music and the touch
And the mouths meeting.
