NY State of Mind - Nyack Library Exhibit

Billy Joel sang about riding the Hudson River Line.  Many city dwellers don’t know about all that New York has to offer, even an hour outside of the city.  I have selected photographs, all taken in New York – some in the city to display the beautiful area not so far away.

Artist Statement:

I have had an interest in capturing special moments since I was a kid photographing at family parties. I was fascinated with a device that created a permanent image that could be shared and appreciated over and over. My passion is to share my way of viewing a scene that others may not. I love to stop and watch someone about to take a photo. I feel like I am learning when I walk behind them and see the view from their eyes. I like to see what kind of photograph I can find in reflections, vivid colors and peaceful moments.

They also explored and photographed the natural crater Mitzpe Ramon, ancient copper mines at Timna, Jerusalem’s Arab marketplace and Old City Jewish and Christian sites.
