Papabubble CandyLarge or small, a gift says I care and I’m thinking of you.

Papabubble CandyI was given an incredible gift this Fall, out of the blue, for no reason at all.  It wasn’t the gift but the caring and generosity that touched me.

Papabubble CandyIn January I offered a friend a gift that normally would not have been accepted.  But I told her she had to because it’s rare and wonderful to offer and accept a gift for no reason other than you can and want to.

Papabubble CandyThese sweet gifts are from the Papabubble candy store in New York City.  They are beautiful, yummy, customizable, and made right here in New York City.

And maybe the perfect gift to give for no reason at all…

Enjoy!

Brooklyn Bridge, NYCDuring one of my iPhone expeditions I also had my SLR with me and was jumping back and forth between cameras…bad idea.

Brooklyn Bridge, NYCI made a major setting mistake with my SLR and my photos came out a very cool blue which I thought was a brilliant mistake until I took a closer look.

Brooklyn Bridge, NYSo I spent some time in the digital darkroom with the images…

Manhattan Bridge, NYCI’m not thrilled with the color but I keep looking at that wide angle composition.  Not bad.

Enjoy!

New YorkHowever Subject No. 2, the view from my window, is not only available at all hours, it never looks the same.

The 59th Street Bridge, NYC
The only time I can’t shoot out the window is during UN week when the sharpshooters on top of the UN have just as good a view of me as I do of them.

The United Nations, NYCWhat I love most about these shots is I don’t use a tripod or a flash and am usually holding my breath to keep the camera still for a very long 1/4 of a second.

Chrysler Building, NYC Chrysler Building, NYC

Funny how that works.

Enjoy!
