Just before my 80th birthday I posted this series on Facebook with the caption, “Five thoughts on the last night of my 79th year.” This was clearly about experiencing rather than articulating those thoughts. More and more

my photography is moving further away from my intellect and closer to my emotions. The joy of experiencing light is at the heart of this transition. Here’s what I mean:

Thank you for sharing these pictures. The light pictures are wonderful. My favorites are the one in Central Park and the picture across from the Met- great color

I congratulate you on all your adventures.

Thanks, Richard. It’s good that you can look at all these familiar scenes with “fresh” eyes. I believe you when you say,”I love New York!” It is quite apparent.

Dear Rich,
Thanks so much. What a treat. I love your photographs. The light ones and the ones of you and your idea to capture and respond to your emotions— not to mention anything New York City— i just love your “eye”. And how you always see beauty through design or light or color juxtapositions or subject matter— a feast for the eyes and soul. Thank you,
Danita
PS I’m a big NYC fan as well !!!
