Mystic, Connecticut ♥ San Francisco Bay Area Photographer

I was driving home from Boston, MA with my sister when we saw this sign: “Mystic Next Exit”. Change of plans!

We knew nothing about the place, but got intrigued by the name. Turned out it was a cute little town, a historical seaport, and if I could use just one word to describe it, it would be “peaceful.”
This is the Mystic River Bascule Bridge that allows boat traffic to go through. It opens every hour or so, but we did not know and missed it. It started to rain soon, so we headed home.

Halloween on West 69th Street ♥ NYC Event Photographer

Since 1965 (!) the W 69th street association throws a Halloween party for New Yorkers. Just like last year I walked around with my camera and took some pictures.
I liked the protesters. “Go back to the East Side”. Brilliant

Central Park Film Festival ♥ NYC Photographer

Every end of summer Central Park throws a party for all movie lovers. On a green lawn under the open sky they install a huge screen. Everyone is welcome to join, it’s free! All movies are usually about New York. Do not freak out by the number of people sitting so close to each other, it’s an optical illusion. Telephoto lenses distort perspective, compressing the scene.

Charleston, SC ♥ Street Photography

Thinking of doing business in Charleston, SC? Do hats! Seriously, the sun is so intense there that it burns, and hat shops attract far more unprepared tourists than other gift shops (from my observation). I don’t have any pictures relevant to what I just said, so instead I’ll just share some more photos of quiet and cozy streets.
