I Took A Ten Day Break But I'm Still Here!

Hey there everyone! Seems like I took a little break for a week or two as I haven't been my usual chatty self. I noticed that Blogger (is that what they call this site or is it Blogspot?) has changed their format a bit. It made it a bit confusing for me when I signed onto my command central starting point to write. Like everything else in life, I will adjust to it and eventually grow to like it.

I may have told you all that photography is just one of my latest passions. Although my Canon digital camera sucks, it  has been an upgrade from taking earlier photo's with my iPhone. Definitely going to get a new camera but not sure if I should just get the simpler digital point and shoot type camera or go for something a bit more involved like an SLR. The SLR will allow me to use different lenses and has many more options.  Might be a lot more confusing as well as it also being bigger equipment to lug around. The only good thing about that is I've always loved "bigger equipment", know what I mean?

Here are some photo's I took a week ago when Ekrem and I were in Central Park. For those of you who are not from NYC or have never been here, Central Park is enormous. There are sections that are unbelievably gorgeous. There are also sections that are inundated with tourists and horse and buggy drivers, etc. The pictures I am posting here for you to see are of a spot that is quiet and serene and quite natural. If I didn't tell you it was Central Park, you might have thought I was in some rural area on a hiking trip. Nope, this is Central Park located in NYC. I hope you enjoy the pictures. More to come, I promise and I will try not to disappear for 10 days again.

Some Of My Photos Taken In Central Park, NYC Late At Night

Seven Weeks Ago Today :-( Here Are Some More Pictures I Took Today.

Here are a few more pictures that I took with my new camera. So what do you think? Do I have potential?  All pictures are taken in and around NYC, my city! By the way, I still haven't seen or communicated with Jess yet. But, I am not giving up on him. Even though he doesn't respond to me, I sometimes drop him an email and let him know what's going on with me. I don't however, call him on the phone or text him anymore. Haven't done that in a month. For those of you who are into dates and counting, Jess and I haven't communicated or seen one another since July 21st. Seven weeks ago today! It fucking seems like forever ago. But in reality it has been almost 6 weeks. I don't want him to forget me! I love you Jess! Forever!

Some Of My New Photo's. NYC On A Beautiful Sunday. What Do You Think?

I have been occupying a lot of my free time with taking photographs. I love it. Recently, as I have written here in my blog, I started to use my digital camera instead of my iPhone. Using the iPhone to take serious pictures just doesn't cut it. When I take the pictures, it helps keep my mind occupied and keeps me focused on something other then missing Jess. That, aside from the simple fact that I love the creative aspect, is a good thing. I totally consider myself a new photography enthusiast and a beginner. What do you think of the photo's?

This big guy was walking up 5th Ave. I had to take a picture of him.  I wish I had my camera ready as he was walking toward me so that I could have gotten a front view as well.  All you "bear lovers", enjoy!

I wanted to take these flower pictures to see how clear and brilliant the 

colors and flowers would come out. I think they came out really nice.

The following 4 pictures were taken on Sunday at Chelsea Pier on the lower west side of Manhattan. It was an absolutely beautiful day.

The following 4 pictures were take on Sunday in Central Park.

This guy was just standing on the corner on 5th Ave. He was really bizarre because he moved and opened his mouth and did strange things. I don't even think he was wearing a mask; I think he only has on face makeup.
