I'm nothing special. In fact, I'm a bit of a bore.
St. Mary's on the Hill in Buffalo, demolished in 2011. I was inside to shoot an Artvoice cover with the Real Dream Cabaret, which makes me sound much more interesting than I am.

This is the Columbia, docked in Buffalo for repairs. The work is slow and expensive, but I heard that some new funding has come through so fingers crossed.

The water intake crib in Buffalo, NY, built in 1907. 70 million gallons of water per day enter the crib and pass through a 12' diameter tunnel to the Ward Pumping Station for treatment.

The State Tower building in Syracuse, NY. When I was very young my eye doctor was on the 17th floor. It was such a treat to look out the windows of the waiting room.

The view from my parking spot, downtown Buffalo, NY. That's the new-ish Federal Court House on the left, and Buffalo City Hall on the right.

These are my grandparents on their wedding day. This was taken on Gebhardt Avenue, just around the corner from Assumption Church in Syracuse. There's some trickery afoot here because my grandfather was MUCH taller than my grandmother.

I walk by this building several times each week while the weather is nice. I take a photo nearly every time. I've yet to truly capture how beautiful it is on a sunny day.

A shabby statue in the garden behind the building where I work.

Buffalo's Guaranty Building, designed by Louis Sullivan, was completed in 1896. Sullivan once said "we should refrain entirely from the use of ornament for a period of years." I'm glad he ignored his own advice.

Looking over the bridge connecting two of the Three Sisters Islands, just upstream from Niagara Falls.

I knew as I focused, I'd love this photo. And I do. A few seconds later I moved to my left. Under the staircase was a mattress and some belongings. Clearly where homeless people were sleeping. I think about that day a lot, especially as Thanksgiving approaches.

New user here. I confess, I'm a bit lost. I don't see any photos on my computer. I see them fine on my phone, but I much prefer to use my computer. I've adjusted permissions and moderation settings to no avail. Anyway, I'm going to throw some posts out into the ether regardless.
