I recently took some time off from developing my new photoblog application (more to come in future post), to enjoy a great day of photography (and eating) in New York City. The weather was absolutely perfect! If you have the chance to visit NYC, now is a great time before the summer heat sets in. I was surprised that the traffic was not very heavy as it made for a enjoyable time for easily getting around. Several people took advantage of the sunshine to endulge in some sunbathing in Central Park (always entertaining). ..and the street vendors were in mid-season form.

….discovered this recent article in SuperForest.org, about New York City photographer, Michel Bayard, who specializes in pin hole photography. Simply amazing…great interview and several incredible photographs!

Rion Nakaya, one of New York City’s original photobloggers…Photoblog by Rion Nakaya features an endless supply of beautiful imagery displayed within a minimalist web layout. Easy navigation and great content makes this a site you could spend an afternoon at.

One of the first photobloggers in New York City, Rion has been witnessing, storytelling and documenting with photography since late 2000. More than 6,000 of her photos have been published on this site since then…

Rion Nakaya is an expat photoblogger in Paris.

And though I enjoy the work of a long and growing list of photo- bloggers/graphers, there are a few friends that directly influence my compositions or the thoughts behind them: Raul Gutierrez, Joseph Holmes, Michael David Murphy, and Peter Ross.
