On March 16th I will be presenting in person to the Lehigh Valley Photography Club. My presentation will be on Architecture and the session will be at 7:00 PM. I know that a lot of my followers are outside of the Lehigh Valley and so for this upcoming presentation, the Lehigh Valley Photography Club is allowing me to promote this session for non-members to join in person or Zoom. There is a $10.00 fee to register and the good news is, if you can’t make the date/time on March 16th, the session will be available for you to view for up to 4 weeks from March 16th. I hope that you will consider joining me for this session virtually or in person. For more info or to register, click here: https://bit.ly/3IDdahC…

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to participate with the Lehigh Valley Photography Club, by visiting a “hard hat only” area of Ellis Island. We were given access to the immigrant hospital buildings, which included the infectious and contagious disease wards, kitchen and the mortuary and autopsy room. We also visited the Laundry Building, with much of its original equipment still in place, where over 3000 pieces of laundry were washed and sanitized daily. To say the experience was incredible would be an understatement. The texture and patterns are amazing. My only challenge, was not being able to utilize a tripod. However, because I shoot with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 MkII, I can handhold the camera for long exposures with the built-in 5 axis image stabilization. My two main lenses for this shoot were the M.Zuiko ED 7-14mm f2.8 PRO and M.Zuiko ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO.

I had the opportunity to lead a trip back to Grand Central Terminal a few weeks ago for the Lehigh Valley Photography Club. All images & video were shot with Olympus OM-D E-M1 and E-M5 MkII. I have photographed this place many times. However, on this trip we were able to go into the belly of the beast. In addition to going to the highest point, we also went 13 stories below to see the heart of the complex. I have also included a brief video from the day. This place continues to amaze me every time I go!
