Honoring NYC: Photo Story 4 - Enter Other Worlds Here
I passed by a curious art installation called Entering New Worlds during 52 Magic Mondays. In a narrow window panel, there was a tiny lens to look through. Inside, I peered a magical meadow with dandelions in the forefront and rolling hills in the distance...
Honoring NYC: Photo Story 3 - Just the Trees
My 52 Magic Mondays walking and photographing New York City in 2016 included taking portraits of beautiful trees. Although most of the city is pavement and buildings, trees still abound.
