The corner coffee shop<br />
1/8/2010<br />
This little shop caught my eye and I felt like there was a picture to be made here.  Not sure if I captured it though.  Two others are posted here:   <a href="http://bit.ly/4OXtnH">http://bit.ly/4OXtnH</a><br />
Would appreciate your honest feedback.  Thanks.

  • Norwood Memorial Municipal Building<br />
1/7/2010<br />
"Norwood's town square is dominated by its town hall, the Norwood Memorial Municipal Building. It includes a 51-bell carillon tower housing the Walter F. Tilton Memorial Carillon, one of nine carillons in Massachusetts and the seventh-largest in the United States. Built in 1928, the neo-gothic edifice is made of Weymouth seamed-face granite. Visitors often mistake it for a church or believe it to have been a church, but it never was; its stained-glass windows depict not saints, but local patriot Aaron Guild".  From ikipedia

"Built in 1892, former headquarters of Robinson Brothers & Company; later Potter Drug, manufacturers of Cuticura Soap products. Site now housing for elderly."  ci.malden.ma<br />
It's not as dismal a place as it appears here.

I took a stroll today, armed only with my iPhone and a keen eye - ok, I did have my iPhone - and sought out some interesting snaps, perchance, a daily.   Above is one.   Others can be seen here:   <a href="http://bit.ly/6EzWr7">http://bit.ly/6EzWr7</a><br />
What do you think?  Thanks for all your comments on the snowy night and sledding pics.

During my sister-in-law's surprise birthday party, held today at the local golf course, snow sledding broke out spontaneously on the hill adjacent to the club house.  Ross, pictured here, borrowed a tube from a young girl and "attacked" the hill with fervor.  I happened to be in the right place at the right moment to capture this.

That's my New Year's resolution.  So I am reading a book on the Nikon Creative Lighting System, which some say is the best portable lighting system in the world (!).  Here is my first attempt at off-camera flash.  Other shots can be seen here:   <a href="http://bit.ly/6vOIk5">http://bit.ly/6vOIk5</a><br />
<br />
I have a long way to go but I am beginning to appreciate the value of the system and "getting the flash off the darn camera" as Rick Sammon would say.  Feedback welcome.  Thanks.<br />

Also - please note about today's date:  "Thoreau never had one during his lifetime. Neither did George Washington nor Albert Einstein. Today in the United States, which uses the month/day/year format for dates, there is a rare chance to celebrate a palindrome date - 01/02/2010 - which reads the same forward as it does backward."

    I like this the best of the three....I might have had more of the window on the other side of the door...but this is good.......

    I like the crop, comp and b&w conversion -- gives it a nostalgic feel. I think you did a wonderful job!

    I like the B&W tones and the comp. What a neat coffee shop. I can see why you were drawn to take the shot.
    I am bothered that the flag goes the wrong way in the window, but that's just me. Of course inside it looks right:-) My paradigm due to the US Flag star field is that flags should go L to R. Nothing as a photographer you can do about it anyway.
    Like Art said, maybe less pavement.
    I often go back to a spot 3 times and take photos before I land one that I think is what I was really trying for... I keep it fun when I keep on trying:-)

    I only saw one other one at your link. In both I think you needed to include more at the top of the photo and less of the pavement.
