Mobiography Magazine is a digital magazine about mobile (smartphone) photography. I’m a subscriber, and I find the magazine very helpful. There are articles about mobile phone photography techniques, reviews of the latest useful apps, and profiles of talented smartphone photographers from around the globe. Every year, the magazine runs a contest where readers can submit photos in a variety of…
My partner Mark and I are about to purchase a second home, north of the city, in Highland, New York. It’s going to serve as our weekend getaway. Although photography wasn’t a consideration when contemplating purchasing a second home, one of the many benefits of being able to escape New York City is that I’ll be in a new photographic…
As I mentioned in a recent blog post, I undertook a cool photo project in 2021. I endeavored to take at least one new, interesting photo every day, whether I was in the mood or not. Being forced to think about photography every day definitely opened my eyes to photographic subjects and opportunities that I definitely would have passed by…
I decided to stroll to Fotografiska to sit and drink tea, and read a book. It’s too cold to walk around comfortably and take photos, so I usually look for indoor activities (museums, bookstores, cafes, etc.) However, the cloudy, gray, cold atmosphere led to a few nice photographic opportunities, especially as I strolled through Madison Square Park, and so I…
The northeast got hit with a pretty good snowstorm. When the snow hits NYC, you have a few hours to photograph the beauty of it before it turns to black, nasty slush. When I went out, however, I quickly discovered how mind-numbingly cold it is outside: 15 degrees, with a wind chill making it feel like -1. My photo walk…
I think I’ve been to most of the museums in Amsterdam’s Centrum. There is a museum that’s not in the Centrum, though, that I’d heard about and wanted to visit: it’s called Straat, and it’s a museum for graffiti and street art. The museum is north of the Centrum. You have to take the ferry over, and then either walk…
Amsterdam is a great museum city, and going to the different museums is by far my favorite activity when I’m there. I like photography, and I always make it my business to stop by the two photography museums, FOAM and Huis Marseille. If I’m lucky, some of the other museums will also have a photography exhibit. Well, I got majorly…
Here’s the last installment of this three-part post of the best/my favorite photos from my visit to Amsterdam in 2021. It’s a pretty diverse collection.
Continuing from the last blog post, here are 25 more of my favorite photos from my recent Amsterdam visit.
It started exactly a year ago. I wanted to improve my technical skills as a photographer, and my photo editing skills as well. Although I’m constantly reading books and watching videos about photography, there really is no substitute for just getting out there and shooting, shooting, shooting. I read an article that was emailed to me by the iPhone Photography…
Over the past few years, I’ve gotten very into photography, and even though I currently live in a city with an endless supply of interesting photographic material (New York City), I get completely mentally recharged when I travel. Amsterdam inspires me like few other places. I took over 4000 photos when I visited. Although I am a hobbyist, I am…
I spent the month of August, 2021, in Amsterdam, and I got very lucky with the museum exhibits. I love photography, and I always visit FOAM and Huis Marseille, the two photography museums in Amsterdam. This time, in addition to these two museums, I got to see two great photography exhibits at other museums – the Fred Stein exhibit at…
Regular readers of my blog know that I like street photography, and that last year I purchased a camera that was designed for the street: the Ricoh GR III. Street photographers rave about this camera for several reasons, the main ones being the small size, the super sharp images it produces, and the image settings (particularly the black and white…
