My walks around our neighborhood are generally short and later in the afternoon or early evening. The light is a bit softer, quieter, warmer, highly directional, and weaker in power. Therefore the photographs are also a bit quieter and darker in tone as I prefer to convey this mood. But they all reflect the qualities of this neighborhood which … [Read more...]
Collier Point Park
Rhode Island is a small state, yet it has close to 300 public parks and playgrounds operated mostly by the cities. The nine state parks obviously have large footprints, but the city parks are all over the place. They vary in size and function but they serve the public by providing space they can use, and green grounds for all to enjoy, some even … [Read more...]
Off The Wall
A while back, late October 2016, I went to visit a potential client near Dean Street in Providence. Although the route was very familiar to me from my years of driving to Providence College, that particular street was new to me but very easy to locate. After the meeting, I realized the street was one way and I needed to find my way back. As I … [Read more...]
Empty Streets On Christmas Day
Holidays, especially the Christmas Day in most of the United States mean gathering, small crowds of family and friends, and celebrating the holidays. As they all get off their cars in front of the family member's house holding the dinner, they enter to a cheery house with people greet them with open arms. They all look forward to chit-chat, good … [Read more...]
An Art Deco Landmark At Crossroads
Providence has many landmark buildings, but few are more famous than the "Superman Building." Built in 1928 in Art Deco style for the Industrial Trust Company, then one of the largest banks in the state. By the time I moved to Rhode Island, it had come to be known as the INBank building as the former bank changed its name and character. Later it … [Read more...]

This time we went to the historic jewelry district which now houses a variety of organizations from the Children's Museum, to Brown University Advancement Office, several healthcare organizations, a few restaurants, and an apartment complex … [Read more...]
A Short Stroll in Providence
Providence has interesting architecture and to a large extent, it has maintained its character. It is a small city, but not tiny; it has changed some but still looks like the Providence I first saw in 1969. Last weekend Jim picked me up and we went for a short stroll in the city to enjoy its many old buildings, and streets. Downtown … [Read more...]
22–Minutes in the Mall
How long do you need to find subjects to photograph and create work that interests you? Of course for some projects, you need hours, maybe even days or months. However, don't underestimate short and sweet, quick photo shoots. This afternoon we went to the Providence Place Mall so that Jan could complete some shopping. I brought my camera and … [Read more...]
Supermarket Subjects
I have seen quite a few photographs by many photographers who aimed their lenses to objects inside various stores. Andreas Gursky has the famous 99-cent photograph that broke the auction records some years ago, and Brian Ulrich, a faculty member at RISD, took his large format cameras to supermarkets as well as other unexpected places. Whenever I … [Read more...]
Photograph Your Neighborhood
“The difference between the casual impression and the intensified image is about as great as that separating the average business letter from a poem,” said Harry Callahan in 1964. “If you choose your subject selectively — intuitively — the camera can write poetry.” LensCulture How far do you travel to photograph? Chances are many readers of this … [Read more...]
