I’m apparently attracted to aquatic subjects lately, this shot appeals to me because of the rich color and movement, and the shape of the fish. I recently renamed this blog Fresh Fish, inspired in large part by the shot of the Sardines (see below) at a Chinatown fish market. So I might as well keep it going. This is another shot from the Central Park Zoo visit last weekend.
Penguin House in the Central Park Zoo. Another stop in our visit to NYC this past weekend. This is another place in NYC which I hadn’t visited until now. You discover a different New York when traveling with children. A slower pace, less distance covered, and a more relaxed time. We visited places that were off the map when I was living in the city and going to school. It was a really enjoyable couple of days. New York on a nice day in the spring is hard to beat.

Check out this deal on platinum paladium prints over at The Online Photographer. Carl Weese is offering prints at a very reasonable price. My favorite is the Pike Drive-in print, and I have one on order. BTW, The Online Photographer is one of my most frequent stops on the web, great posts every day, highly recommended.
This side alley caught my eye while walking down Canal Street in New York yesterday. The scene on Canal has changed quite a bit since I lived in the city. If anything, there is a more frenetic pace to the stretch between Broadway and Mott. I miss the weekend flea market that was a mainstay for years, no sign of it now. The unfortunate part of this walk was that my wife Wendy had her pocketbook picked sometime around when this photo was snapped, and the bum relieved us of over $100. First time this happened to us in our many visits to the city, and all the time I lived here. I don’t think it’s an indication of crime getting worse in the city, since the 80′s the place has become down right family friendly. Just bad luck, and a very crowded Canal street, perfect for pickpockets.
A weekend trip to NYC, my 7 year old daughters first visit. So we hit the places she wanted to see, Central Park Zoo, and Liberty Island. Once your a parent, you find yourself doing things you swore you would never do – and actually enjoying them.
