 Recent Work-Chinese New Year Parade 02/01/2012Throngs of people, low wind chill, a long stream of unknown politicians to address the crowd and then a great spectacle. Here is a very small sample.
  Recent Work-Sleeping in Manhattan 01/01/2012You don't have to look very hard to find someone asleep somewhere in Manhattan, not counting the subway where everyone is either asleep or on their iPad. Here are 11 "sleepers" encountered over the past year.
 Recent Work-Chessmen of Union Square 12/01/2011In the southwest corner of Union Square, you can almost always find a game of blitz chess ongoing. There are a handful of Chessmen that take on all comers. Most of the Chessmen are very skillful and a few I've never seen lose. The action heats up when the Fall semester at NYU starts and a new crop of young blood comes to test their skill. These games don't last long and the balance of payments is strongly in the favor of the Chessmen.
 Recent Work-Laundromats 11/01/2011Apartment life in New York City often requires schleping your dirty stuff to a neighborhood laundromat periodically. Each has its own character and clientele. I've seen more than fifty in lower Manhattan. Here is a sample.
 Recent Work-Aspen Impressionism 10/01/2011About the last week of September each year, Colorado's immense aspen forest produces some great scenes of nature. I enjoy photographing the aspen but am always looking for a different view.This set of images are a handful of hundreds that I've made over the years by either making multile exposures of a single image or moving the camera during the exposure. I hope you enjoy them.
 Recent Work-Dive Bars 09/01/2011Friday nights are spent trying to find the world's best dive bar. Trouble is, there's no definition and the really good ones are closed down by the health department. Photographing them is even more of a challenge-dark and no one inside wants to see a camera. Here are a few candidates.
 Recent Work-Denmark 08/01/2011Denmark is a striking contrast to Manhattan. Generally slowed-paced, peaceful and quiet, neat and tidy, cool and temperate in the summer, surrounded by magnificent pastoral scenes and supported by clean, efficient and well-maintained infrastructure. Altogether, a wonderful respite from the city. I hope you enjoy the views.
 Recent Work-Gay Pride Parade 07/01/2011New York City loves parades. They come in all flavors and frequently. Most are colorful and many attract throngs. Here's a really brief look at the recently completed Gay Pride Parade.
 Recent Work-New York City Doors 06/01/2011A constantly changing panorama of views is the norm in New York City. Here you'll find some New York City doors.
 Recent Work-Near Fifth Avenue 05/01/2011I walk near Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in mid-Manhattan daily. I enjoy seeing the fruits of the labors of what are surely some of the best window designers around.
 Recent Work-Old San Juan, Puerto Rico 04/01/2011One of the longest, coldest and highest snowfall winter seasons in New York City history made a sunny, warm weather respite essential. In five words, Old San Juan was sunny, colorful, balmy and slow-paced. Old San Juan was narrow, cobblestoned streets, short hills, colonial architecture, ocean breezes, kites, cats, great dive bars, friendly people, massive cruise boats with ant-like streams of passengers disembarking, plenty of history, blue-green oceans, a variety of small beaches and, sometimes, tangled automobile traffic.
 Recent Work-Accidental Art 03/01/2011I like to walk the neighborhoods of lower Manhattan early in the mornings. I especially like to find small "scenes" within larger pieces of street art, rusting surfaces etc. I call it accidental art. I'm not sure you will consider it in such favorable terms!
Robert Anderson Gallery opens in New York City 02/07/2011The Robert Anderson Gallery opened on 02/07/2011. The gallery is located at 24 West 57th Street, Suite 503, New York, NY 10019 (between 5th and 6th on 57th Street, one block west of Park Avenue).

 Recent Work-Black and White 02/01/2011Black and white photography has never been a particular skill of mine. I'm working on it and enjoying it more and more. Here are a handful on black and white images in forays made throughout Manhattan in the winter, 2011.
 Recent Work-Last week of 2010 01/01/2011Each year seems to fly by more quickly than the previous one and this year was no exception. The last week of 2010 afforded me the opportunity to do a lot of walking, much of it in snow and slush, around New York City. You will find nine diverse images from these "last of 2010 walks." I hope you find the views enjoyable.
 Recent Work-Chinatown 12/01/2010Whenever you want some sensory input, head to Chinatown. There are fabulous side streets with tiny shops, people crowded into doorways, vendors sitting on boxes, children talking excitedly, ads marketing everything imaginable. Wonderful sights, sounds and smells. I prefer it early in the morning on the weekends or late in the night. Always a pleasant experience.
 Recent Work-Farmer's Markets 11/01/2010For many years, I have started each Saturday morning at a Farmer's Market, either in Denver, CO or New York City. The sights, colors, tastes, smells and freshness and variety of what is available bring me back each week. The seasonal progression of herbs, produce, fruits and other offerings is a reminder of earth's bounty and the cyclic nature of life. Here are some Farmer's Market images.
 Recent Work-Catskills, Adirondacks and Vermont 10/01/2010The last week of September and first weeks of October are when I head for the hills of the Rockies or the forests of Vermont and New York. Cool nights, usually sunny days and hundreds of shades of gold, red, yellow, amber and green cover the trees. Long hikes, peace and quiet, small towns and villages, friendly people and a feast for the eyes at every turn draw me back year after year. The images depicted in this section are from the Catskills and Adirondacks in New York and rural Vermont.
 Recent Work-Photocollage 09/01/2010One of the many appealing aspects of photography is the variety of applications. One such application is photocollage. There are multiple ways to create a photographic collage. In this series, several were created "in-camera" via the use of a reflecting surface which results in superimposition of multiple images.
 Recent Work-Dog Days of Summer 08/01/2010When the temperature exceeds 90 degrees and the humidity is high, outside activities, including photography, take a rest. Enclosed find images from the last two weekends taken either early in the morning or in the evening when the temperature has moderated. The images are mostly from street-level although a few are from unique vantage points. Enjoy.
 Recent Work-Street Walking in New York 07/01/2010I enjoy walking the steets and noticing things. Signs, passersby, storefronts, pets, street scenes, graffiti, street art and just about anything else catch my eye. Here is a handful of images, taken over the last few weeks while meandering the streets of New York. Certainly not "fine art" and maybe a little quirky. I hope you enjoy some different sights.
 Recent Work-The NY Subway 06/01/2010I ride the NY subway about 20 times a week. Some of the stations are caked with grime and you may have to wade through ankle deep puddles to get to out when it rains. On the other hand, it's relatively inexpensive. You come to appreciate the massive people-mover function it serves. You can also find some hidden scenes not present elsewhere-brilliant colors, snippets of art, unusual posters and signs and, of course, some "street performers." You might as well learn to enjoy playing with the cards you're dealt! Here are a few subway scenes from across NY.
 Recent Work-South Central Texas Spring 05/01/2010One of the most pleasant aspects of traveling the back roads in search of a good image is the "unexpecteds" you encounter. I have made many visits to the Hillcountry of Texas during the the first two weeks of April over the past 20 years. I always enjoy myself and am enriched not only by some timeless scenes, but also by the friendliness of the people and the unique culture. You'll find some sights from my most recent Texas trip in my "New Work" gallery. I hope you enjoy the views and come away with a sense of place for this unique area.
 Recent Work-The Vanishing Landscape of the High Plains 04/01/2010 The 20 or so images in this gallery are drawn from many that I have taken during several visits to the high plains over the past five years. The high plains represent a large geographic area including parts of eastern Colorado, southeastern Wyoming, western Nebraska and Kansas and northeastern New Mexico. These high and dry short grass prairie plains are punctuated with abundant, low-lying cactus and scrub brush. A few trees can be found near creeks and rivers. The population density is among the lowest in the United States. This is the land of extreme temperature variations, constant wind, dust, hailstorms, tornados, and ground blizzards. Dryland farming, ranching and some oil/gas industry are the main draws. The small towns on the plains are progressively disappearing. I have tried to capture a sense of what was and what is left in this lonely, slowly vanishing landscape.
