UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
You could spend a lifetime touring, exploring and photographing the United States of America. From its sheer size, to varied natural beauty, regional culture, vibrant cities, small towns, rural farmland, and unique history - there is always something more to see and explore. While New York City is my base of operations, I also enjoy capturing the glimpses of Americana in my travels throughout my home country.
The Cities
New York City
New York City is the flagship website of the CityNeighborhoods Project - which has explored, photographed and document all 380+ neighborhoods across all five boroughs of NYC: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx & Staten Island.
Cape May, NJ
The beachside town of Cape May, New Jersey is an iconic summertime, beachside destination - from whale and dolphin watching, to the shops, strolls along picturesque streets with Victorian architecture, to the zoo, to the beach itself.
Clinton, NJ
I spent the day of Saturday, November 2, 2024 taking in the sights of Western Central New Jersey. I started in picturesque town of Clinton, with its iconic Red Mill. After touring its streets, I also took in the environs of historic Solitude House and Solitude Lake in High Bridge.
Jim Thorpe, PA
I took a day trip away from NYC to Jim Thorpe (Mauch Chunk), Pennsylvania. The town is a charming and relaxing place to visit. Hopefully I captured some of its essence in these photos.
Portland, ME
Autumn in Maine offers many riches for the senses. In this tour, the natural beauty of Maine's rustic landscape gives way to the celebratory streets of Old Port, Portland.
Sleepy Hollow, NY
The Legend of the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow, New York, is a timeless, classic American Gothic story. The modern town embrace their part in this tale and turn their cozy, picturesque into a giant celebration of all things Halloween - including an appropriately whimsical and colorful parade. Enjoy a photographic essay of these festivities!
South Beach, FL
Iconic, rippling with equal measures of sunlight, Art Deco, neon, fast cars, booming music, and those who want to see and be see, Ocean Drive and A1A in South Beach, Miami are feasts of sights and sounds. My camera and I spent a sun-drenched, Saturday afternoon and evening in this world-famous locale and it didn't disappoint. Enjoy a photographic tour through the indelible sights of Ocean Drive and A1A.
The Sites
1000 Islands, NY
Once dubbed “The Playground of the Rich” the 1000 Islands is, in fact, a wonderful fusion of rugged North Country nature with the urge of people to live in and with nature. The St. Lawrence River is home to more than 1,000 islands, and its waterways are rich with fishing, boating, leisure, outdoor adventures ... and castles!
Colonial Williamsburg, VA
The living museums of Colonial Williamsburg and Colonial Jamestown are exceptional ways to learn more about the colonial periods of North America, hundreds of years before the birth of the United States.
Deerfield Beach, FL
When you think of iconic South Florida beach locations, you’re envisioning exactly what you see and experience in Deerfield Beach. Warm, rolling ocean waves, baking bleached sand, palm trees and plenty of bars, restaurants, and shacks to enjoy the day and night.
Howe Caverns, NY
If you always wondered what drives so many people to explore caves - but want to do so in a safe, enjoyable, and educational way, head to Howe Caverns, New York. Honestly, it’s a bit like visiting Fraggle Rock.
Niagara Falls, NY
One of the most impressive and famous landforms on all of North America, Niagara Falls is a genuinely impressive place to experience. Whether you visit the Canadian or American sides, you are sure to enjoy this spectacle of nature.
Untermeyer Gardens, NY
High above the Hudson River, across from the Palisades is the enigmatic Untermyer Gardens - created in 1917 by Samuel Untermyer. The gardens were designed to feature a harmony of aesthetic styles (from Persia, India, Pakistan, Greece & Italy) and spiritual beliefs (Judaism, Christianity & Islam). Today they are a breathtaking stop on any exploration of the Hudson River Valley.
Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. is more than the seat of government for the United States: it’s a collection and curation of history, art and progress, intended as a world showcase for the best of what the USA has to offer.
