New York City Boat Tour

Mpix and Popular Photography organized a photographic tour of New York City?

We met at the Shelburne Hotel where Rick Sammon and Carey Schumacher each gave us great tips on photography. I had the chance to meet 5 other mpixers that I had not met before. We walked to the pier and boarded a New York Water Taxi for the tour on the Hudson river.

We spent about 2 hours shooting and here are some of the photographs.

A New York City Rooftop

I was in New York City this weekend for the Photoplus convention and Jen and Tom was nice and let me spend the night at their house.

Jen mentioned that they had a rooftop, so Friday morning I got up at 6 a.m. and headed to the roof. I did not bring my tripod (should have, could have, would have) so my placement of the camera was somewhat limited.

I could have spent hours on the roof, but I had to get on the road to make the mpix bat tour around Manhattan later that morning.

The view was beautiful and these are some the photographs I captured.


View to NJ (I think)








Who would not like this view after a long day at work??














I just love how the sun hit the building
