PICS AND PIXELS . . .


Now . . . where was I?  Well, in the past little while (mostly the past few weeks) I have been to New York City (twice), to Adamsville, RI, to Prince Edward Island, and to Dublin and other “points of interest” in Ireland.  At each stop, I have had my iPhone camera at the ready, so instead of giving a narrative account of my travels, I will give some literal snapshots.  Unfortunately, the pixels on iPhone photos are relatively low.  But so it goes . . .

The first one has a little story behind it.  On the way down to NYC to celebrate Easter, I declared to my wife and the two of our three daughters who were with us that we would be having a family iPhone photo contest.  Well, that went over as big as the family haiku sequence contest I declared on our way to PEI a few summers ago.   In other words, I ended up as the only entrant—and was also the judge.  Here is my winning submission—a shot of the Flatiron Building:


I think this one would have been a prize-winner too, in some category. I snapped it at a friend’s summer home in Adamsville. I call it “Self-Portrait in an Outdoor Shower”:


And then there’s this one that I snapped on my way to visit a friend on PEI. I took this just at dusk with the sun setting over a freshly-ploughed potato field on the Easter Road:


I took a ton of photos in Ireland, but probably the artsiest was this one in Kilronan on Inis Mór of the Aran Islands off the coast of Galway:


And now here’s a bonus—a low-light snap I took during a recent trek to Jamaica Plain in Boston for ice cream at J. P. Licks:
