One of the things I miss about LI

[mathjak107]

And I lived a block away from Clark and loved it. I also used to belong to Old Westbury Gardens, but eventually let the membership fall off.

our membership to ny botanical is good at old westbury gardens

Dale Chihuly did an exhibition in 2006 there and it was beyond stunning and I think it was '16 or '17 that he returned although we were here by then. The blown glass alone was beyond description and the combo of the gardens and glass were just amazing.

IF you ever want to see something spectacular and a photographers dream go to Longwood Gardens at Christmas. It is the former Dupont Estate and simply breathtaking.

we were there a few years ago ..we did longeood and that very old penitentiary which was fabulous to take photos at

my wife and i are out daily shooting somewhere ….headed to port jefferson maybe tomorrow …

our go to places when we don’t know where we want to go are usually planting fields , clark’s , oakland lake , kissena park and oceanside marine study area.

we no longer sell our photos but now we donate them to wherever we go to shoot and give them file rights .

hicks was happy we donated all our shots to them .

we do a lot of charity work for the parks dept here in queens .

we were photographers for the native american dancers the THUNDER BIRD DANCERS .

So we try to give back to all these organizations that do things we enjoy seeing

we must have close to 23,000 photos on our website
