by Kinan Faham on Aug.15, 2010, under Walking, photography

A walk around Roosevelt Island last weekend. Stitching the panoramic photos took a good deal of time!

A Walk With Adobe Titans

by Kinan Faham on Jun.29, 2010, under Parks, meetup, photography

Adobe started a new meetup group in the Big Apple and they organized a photo walk last Saturday with Tom Hogarty and Bryan O’Neil Hughes. We wondered around 22nd Street dropping by the High line park before heading back to Fotocare to listen to what magical things Adobe CS5 and Lighroom 3 had to offer. I have to say they sound promising.

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.

The Wanderer in Alphabet City

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

This was just another walk in the late PM last Sunday after seeing BroadCloth in the Stone.

I like the way trees look in the busy skyline of Manhattan. Quite different from that of New England!

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!
