The 2009 Hudson Valley Garlic Festival took place this past weekend in Saugerties, NY… The event drew in thousands of garlic enthusiasts and all their cars making for a traffic filled day around the town. To get around we opted once again to borrow Revolution Bicycles‘ tandem and ride to the entrance of the garlic festival within a few short minutes rather than sitting in traffic. Once there, Sam, Carmen and I made our way through the maze of vendors and entertainment to get our garlic fill…

Some pics of our garlicky adventure…

A few pictures my wife, Carmen, took while we were treking up near Bear Mountain and around Garrison, NY during a snow storm… The day was gray so figured why not snap the photos in grayscale…

Recently, New York experienced an ice storm and it produced some amazing photography opportunities. My good friend, Samantha Moranville, captured the spectacular natural event around rt. 9W in upstate New York….

”
I took these photos on and around Rte 9W on the “Storm King Highway” and in Black Rock Forest- just south of Cornwall in New York State, a stone’s throw (if you have a good arm!) from the Hudson. I wanted to show you all what I saw as simply magnificent and I did my best to capture it in a way that depicts the vastness and the depth and the details. Of course, I couldn’t manage to get the chill or the breeze or the sounds of tiny crystal glasses breaking on the ground into the photos, or little bits of my subject matter getting crushed under my feet (I tried not to mess anything up- really!), so please, try to imagine these things when you have a look.

I hope you like the pictures. I wish you all could have been there.

After riding Lewis Morris park in the morning, decided to take some pictures of NYC from the New Jersey side in West New York, taken with a Nikon D90 camera.
