LOVERS LOVE BOW BRIDGE -
1992
Bow Bridge is among the "Ten
Best Places" in the world for lovers to visit. The
other 9 best places just happen to also be in Central
Park. I won't tell you where they are, because half the
fun is finding them yourself... with your lover of
course.

GOTHIC BRIDGE AND HORSE - 1985
Of all the iron bridges in
Central Park, this is the most graceful. The picture was
taken a few minutes after morning light appeared. An hour
or so later, the park activities had started to turn the
snow into messy slush.

 |
THE GREAT LAWN - 1989
Something different! This is
Central Park's Great Lawn taken with a funny
lens.
In my site's color section
you will find another shot with a giant rabbit on the
Great Lawn. Hundreds of humans are trying to restrain
this rabbit. It has to be seen to be believed.

SAILBOAT POND - 1989
This scene was shot at Central
Park's Conservatory Water (Sailboat Pond). The
unusual tones are due to the use of infrared film, which
can respond to colors that are not not visible to the
eye.
|
 |
LAKESIDE SHELTER - 1991
A view from the west side
of the Central Park Lake. Bow Bridge is in the
background.
|
 |
GAPSTOW BRIDGE IN THE SNOW - 1985
This bridge was shot
immediate after a wet snow fall... which has a tendency
to stick to branches and everything else including
cameras.
|
 |
GONDOLA ON THE LAKE - 1987
No, this isn't Italy. This
picture is the Central Park lake on a Sunday afternoon.
To give the image more visual depth, I shot though the
foliage. Bethesda Fountain and Bethesda
Terrace are in the background.
|
 |
THE SNOWY LAKE - 1993
A nearly frozen lake with a fresh
layer of snow on it. To the left you have ducks enjoying
the cold water. The skyline fades into the distance.
Lonely isn't it?
|
 |
INNOCENCE - 1989
A lucky grab shot... I
didn't even have time to focus properly. The
moment that I snapped the picture, the viewfinder on my
camera blacked out (Single Lens Reflex) and for this
reason, I did not know that the child had covered her
face. I became aware of this later that day while I was
processing. Due to the fact that the child is
unrecognizable, I own the total commercial rights to this
image.

BOW
BRIDGE BEING PAINTED - 1988
A tranquil summer morning. The
crowds of park enthusiasts have yet to arrive.
|
 |
MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN - 1990
It's hard to believe that
this is the Middle of Manhattan. This Rustic
Bridge crosses the Gill in a wooded area of Central park
called the Ramble.
|
 |
PLAYGROUND IN SNOW - 1987
It's very early now, but soon the
children will be all over the playground equipment... and
I will be home doing darkroom work.
|
 |
CONSERVATORY
GARDEN - 1991
Conservatory Garden is
actually three unique gardens... each one more wonderful
than the next.
|
 |
ROWBOAT SKYLINE - 1979
This great view from
Central Park's West Drive was intended by design. What
wasn't intended were the buildings sprouting up as
mushrooms.
A wonderful juxtaposition of nature and structural
architecture embraces the eyes.
|
 |
RUSTIC BENCH - 1990
This is in Central Park's Shakespeare
Garden. The walkway leads to Vista Rock
which has Belvedere Castle built on it. From the
castle, you can look down on the Delacorte Theater
stage and see rehearsals in progress.This park is so darn
great!
|
 |
BOW
BRIDGE FROM THE SIDE - 1992
Here is this unique bridge
in the late winter. People just enjoy relaxing on
this bridge. Most bridges are intended for getting from
one side to the other and you don't spend any more time
on them then is necessary. Bow Bridge is different
in this respect to the fact that people will stay on the
bridge for hours at a time.
|
 |
SNOWY SKYLINE - 1979
A early evening view from
the Gapstow Bridge. You can see where Central
Park meets midtown Manhattan. In the center background is
the Plaza Hotel.
|
 |
TAVERN ON THE GREEN - 1982
This famous restaurant
covers all it's trees with lights all year around. When
ever you're in N.Y.C. check it out. It gets better with
every year.
|
 |
THE
POOL - 1995
The Pool is an idyllic pond
located in the north/west part of the park. My
camera was pointing east the morning that I took this
picture. I hope to find, dig out and post some
spring time shots taken of The Pool in color many years
ago.
|
 |
BOW BRIDGE IN THE FOG - 1992
This is the most beautiful
bridge in the park. While work was under way on the
construction of this bridge (1859-60), the company
providing the ironwork had won the contract to do the
same for the dome of the Capitol Building in Washington
DC. You can see Manhattan's upper westside in the
background.
