Well, it's not my first post, per se, but it's the first image I've posted.

As you know (unless you don't watch TV, listen to the radio, or read newspapers or the internet), the east coast has been slammed by a record-setting snowstorm today, so I took a walk around the block and shot a few pics. At one point I stopped like Niagra Falls - slowly I turned, step by step, frame by frame...

I wasn't really going for anything with this shot, just taking some snapshots of a pretty scene.

On this one, however, I was trying to show the solitude of this guy's walk in the midst of the blizzard - something with which I could sympathize, since I was the only other pedestrian in sight at the time.

Around the corner, these two guys from the maintenance staff were working hard to shovel the sidewalks of the apartment buildings, but took time out to help a resident get her car unstuck and parked in a mostly clear space.

    Very nice images. Keep them coming.
    They really show how the east side is getting slammed.

    The whole series is posted on my web page:

    Some of them are complete carp. I don't delete the flubs; I figure you can't learn from your mistakes if you delete them and pretend they never happened.
