“The material of the artist lies not within himself nor in the fabrications of his imagination, but in the world around him…The artist’s world is limitless. It can be found anywhere far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.”
Paul Strand, 1890 – 1976, photographer and filmmaker who helped establish photography as an art form in the 20th century.

The world around you, Robin, and at your doorstep, would be for most people to die for!
5 years ago I was on the Brooklyn Bridge, I just loved it. It has something magic. A great shot, love the cloud at the perfect spot.
Thanks everyone for your wonderful notes! I’m so fortunate to live in this incredible city and to be able to photograph it almost daily!
