Banzai tree at Brooklyn Botanical Garden. I love the loss of perspective-how this tiny tree looks like a giant.

The man in this photo is the boyfriend of the boy's mother. 2013 was their first summer together. It appears the man is teaching the boy; however, it has been profoundly more balanced than meets the eye.

This past October, a friend and I were on the Chelsea Market NYC Food Tour when we made our way to Little West 12th Street for our last tasting. There we spotted these men hard at work stripping the top of a table. It seemed ironic to capture what is left of laboring men in the meatpacking district.

This photo was taken outside of Lafayette, IN along I-65. The elements of the photo -- the stop signs, the windmills, the flattened landscape, the marred road, the swirling storm cloud -- are perfect indicators of the American roadside; at once in constant motion and in a state of perpetual still sameness.

We were visiting our friends at their campsite near Lake George, NY and the kids had collected these salamanders in the woods. I thought they were so cool and had not known about orange ones! We tipped the bucket over so they could escape! I love the angle of their departures!

I took this from the window of my mom's car, driving through Somers, NY. I was shocked how close we got, and how long he/she stood looking at us.

I took this photo of my husband at the Parthenon... in Nashville Tennessee. I like the feeling of space and the size of the architecture, and I like that the sweatshirt my husband was wearing happens to blend nicely with the color of the building. Last but not least, it reminds me of what a fun trip we had visiting our friends in Tennessee!

I took this image on the West side of Yosemite National Park in California the day before I drove across country to work on a farm in Columbia County, New York. There was a fire some years ago in the park and the log, twisted and burnt, is jutting up at a similar angle as the lupine.

Second of two photos submitted.

This one is in that same spot on the bridle path (which I used to think was called the "bridal" path), and I saw a woman walking up with a red umbrella. The color against the canvas of Riverside Park struck me and I started snapping. I also have a similar photo of a woman with a candy pink umbrella against the gray patina.
Thank you for the invitation to submit!
Cheers,
Annie

I was waiting for a friend at the Ft. Greene Farmers Market, marveling at the beautiful and bountiful offerings. The sun was beginning to peek through the trees, and it illuminated the already vibrant colors of these heirloom tomatoes.

First snowfall this December.

This is a photo of the channel and bolts for the lock gates at Empire Lock 20 on the Old Erie Canal, about a mile outside of Amsterdam, New York.
I love the physical immediacy of the history. This is one of the only parts of the abandoned enlarged canal left that is right next to the original 1828 Clintons Ditch.
It's very quiet and hidden there and you can almost hear the voices of the immigrants and the canal men and the mules snorting and braying in protest, echoing faintly in the breeze.
I also like the near to far perspective and the arc of the composition. I'm interested in decay and the history of objects, and I love the textures of the granite and rusted bolts with the grass and weeds.

I have had a nearly four-decade-long passionate love affair with Riverside Park, so I snap photos nonstop when I'm out with my dog. This was on Tuesday, December 10, after the snow had stopped. It was not yet, dusk, but the lights along Riverside were on, and in the distance I saw people approaching. I snapped about 20 photos, because the landscape looked like a Monet painting: blue sky, dark, bare trees, benches, iron, and the yellow in those old-fashioned lamps that line Riverside that I adore. I thought his was the best.
