Times Square, NYC 2010



Times Square
8 sec at f / 18

Looking south on Broadway at W46th Street. The gentleman on the right side of the photo stepped in right before the shutter closed, adding a ghostly human element to the photograph. This, in addition to the moving taxis, speaks to the transient nature of Times Square. There are 9 subway lines that run beneath Times Square and approximately 97,617 people will use the Times Square Subway Station today, Sunday May 2. For more info visit: http://mta.info/nyct/facts/ridership/index.htm



Times Square Manhole
4 sec at f/22

A wet sidewalk reflects vivid color from the animated billboards and lights of Times Square above. Times Square was named Longacre Square until 1904 when the NY Times took residence in a newly constructed skyscraper on the corner of 42nd Street and convinced Mayor George McClellan to rename the area. Around the Revolutionary War, the area was surrounded by countryside used for farming and breeding horses. For more info visit: http://bit.ly/2azKX6

A balmy sunset and Christmas lights frame Esperanza’s Malecon. Esperanza (meaning Hope) is the smaller of two settlements on the island of Vieques, located approximately 8 miles east of the Puerto Rican mainland. Esperanza was once an important part of the island’s sugar industry which declined during the early decades of the twentieth century, and finally collapsed in the 1940s when the US Navy took over much of the island’s land to develop a bombing range.

M/V Wanderbird off the Spanish Virgin Islands, 2010


M/V Wanderbird - Horizon
1/640 sec at f/8

Isla de Culebra (Snake Island) is located approximately 17 miles east of the Puerto Rican mainland. Culebra is an archipelago consisting of the main island and twenty-three smaller islands that lie off its coast. The largest of these cays are: Culebrita and Cayo Norte. Islands in the archipelago are arid, meaning they have no rivers or streams, resulting in very clear surrounding waters due to lack of run-off. Without a local source, all of the fresh water for residents has to travel over 17 miles from the Puerto Rican mainland. For more info visit: http://bit.ly/4EfeNX


M/V Wanderbird- Starboard Rigging
1/320 sec at f/4

M/V Wanderbird was built in 1963 and used as a beam fishing trawler in the harsh conditions of the North Sea for 27 years. She was refit in 2002 by Karen and Rick Miles to carry passengers for expedition cruises to Newfoundland, Labrador, Maine, and the Caribbean. Wanderbird proved to be an excellent platform for capturing the Caribbean photographs featured in this show. For more info visit: http://www.wanderbirdcruises.com/

Back From The Caribbean!


Photo by Maaike Bernstrom

I just returned from an awesome 8 day photo trip to the Spanish Virgin Islands with internationally recognized nautical photographer Onne van der Wal. We visited Culebra, Culebrita, Cayo Norte, and Vieques on a 90 foot converted Dutch fishing vessel Wanderbird. The weather and scenery were excellent! I had a blast shooting with a great group of photographers while I was down there. Many thanks to Onne and Kristin for putting the trip together and to my new friends Clemens, Mary, Rick, Karen, and Maaike! Stay tuned for photos from the trip.
