The Sky Was Glorious For A Moment, Central Park

by Kinan Faham on Apr.22, 2010, under Flowers, Nature, Parks, Walking, photography

Last Sunday we had an unusually blue sky all over the place. It looked especially dramatic around the reservoir of Central Park.

Red Hook, Brooklyn

by Kinan Faham on Apr.20, 2010, under Walking, meetup, photography

This was another Brooklyn expedition with NYC Photo Outings group last Saturday. We started at Smith and 9 street Subway Station(F & G) and roamed the streets of Red Hook. I managed to capture some video after the outing where the cloud formations were dramatic and quite fascinating.

Seventy Degrees Fahrenheit: Central Park

by Kinan Faham on Mar.23, 2010, under Parks, meetup, photography

This was a walk in Central Park with NYC Brainiacs. It was the first time in a few months that we get a moderate temperature without wind,rain or snow!

Lawrence showed an interest in the species found in the park and we passed quite a number of musicians playing solo or in groups on our way…

Here is to a glowing Spring..

West Side Story, a kick off to a thousand miles Journey

by Kinan Faham on Mar.05, 2010, under Parks, Travel, photography

Even though I have been living in the North East for almost four years now, I still have thousands of places to visit and see that are reachable by transportation means. This was a walk last Sunday that I started in Harlem’s 125th street subway station and then passed through New York’s Riverside state park all the way to George Washington Bridge.

The most fascinating thing I saw there was the lighthouse known as “The Little Red Lighthouse “!

After a few hours walking in the park, I took the train down to Alphabet City for my Cello Teacher’s performance in the Stone on Avenue C and E 2nd street. This will follow in the next post!

  • The Silent Camera

    Always fascinated by the odds of the world we live in, I keep my camera at close range all the time just to capture anything my eyes see and like.

    This blog will document journeys to places unknown(to this fella at least) and show you around through his eyes.

    My long term goal is to visit all of the 392 national parks in the United States and hopefully many more interesting places.

    I hope you like how I see our world.

    Feel free to send me your shouts & murmurs either by leaving a comment or through the contact page.

    Ciao!
