Errands

This morning I had to go into the city to drop off something for my sister. Waking up early and begrudgingly accepting the errand wasn't all bad; I got to run to the Museum of Natural History for a bit, which seemed monstrously crowded for a Monday afternoon. I had time for these sketches and a stroll before I had to return home (and before the crowds got to me). Yes children, people enjoy drawing. No parents, that is not a "Buffalo," it is a Musk Ox. It says so right there.
Anyway...
In other news, I was looking for straight razors in the basement and stumbled upon my grandfather's old Nikon F2, along with several zoom and macro lenses, a motor drive, three electronic flashes, a few filters, and a "Pocket Guide to Practical Photography." Considering I had foolishly forgotten he had even given it to me, it was quite a pleasant surprise, and I'm going to see if I can snap anything of worth with it.

Seafarin'

On top is a boat in Montauk, I couldn't read the name, but I think it said "Jason & Danielle." The bottom is a rental sailboat from the Lavallette Yacht Club at the Jersey shore.

Things about town.

Summertime is the best time.

Hofheimer Grotto

One of my favorite sitting spots in my sleepy little town. It was created by Nathan Hofheimer, a very wealthy German investor. Hofheimer retired to the United States, purchased 350 acres of land in Warren, New Jersey, and built a copper mine. When it closed down, Nathan had a grotto built over the mine.

The 'Burbs

Back in the land of cookie-cutter homes and cul-de-sacs.

Privacy

Final exercise for "Concepts & Applications" class.

Frying Pan

This floating bar & grill made me realize that if you get enough people in one area, it's really, really loud.
