While watching the jazz band play the other day in the subway station, I took a moment to just watch the people rushing by as they run to the various subway platforms.

Sometimes on my way back to the apartment after work I just stop and listen to the music in the subway station.  This is a photo of the bass guitarist for the Alex LoDico Jazz Ensemble.  Pretty fun group to watch and listen to after a day of work.

Yesterday I went to an architecture lecture at Columbia (two UVa professors were presenting, along with several other professors from various architecture programs).  After I got back to the apartment, I figured I would take the camera out.  Nothing.  I just didn't like the photos I took.  Today, I took my camera to work so I could take some photos around the city...

A lot has happened since my last post (for example, after graduating in May, I now have an architecture job in New York City).  I love the city and can't believe I have not been carrying my camera around with me.  I feel like I need to re-learn how to take photos on a regular basis. I feel like I need to start over on this photoblog (from the ground up).  This photo is of Times...

A lot has happened since my last post (for example, after graduating in May, I now have an architecture job in New York City).  I love the city and can't believe I have not been carrying my camera around with me.  I feel like I need to re-learn how to take photos on a regular basis. I feel like I need to start over on this photoblog (from the ground up).  This photo is of Times Square (well, at least the trash and part of the street).  I kind of took the "starting over" expression "from the ground up" a bit literally with this photo.

It has been a long time since I posted and a lot has happened since then as well.  First off, I graduated from college (crazy I know) and now I am in the hunt for a job. I need to shot more photos.  Tomorrow I plan on going out with the old Holga (with some 35mm).  This photo is of the chapel at the University of Virignia.  I was bored one day and started messing around in...
