307. PASSAGES. Montreal. The only Canadian city that gets more interesting in winter.

304. PASSAGES. Downtown Los Angeles. Like New York, LA rarely looks like it does in magazines and TV commercials.

#303. PASSAGES. Beijing airport.

302. PASSAGES. Cape May, New Jersey.

291. PASSAGES. Washington, DC.

290. PASSAGES. South Beach, Miami. SoBe provides a rare opportunity to use the word “idiosyncratic”.

282. PASSAGES. Birmingham, England. An enormous interior space called Grand Central. We have one of those.

276. PASSAGES. Atlantic City, New Jersey. Tawdry, sweet and salty.

273. PASSAGES. Los Angeles. Downtown.

267. PASSAGES. Washington, DC. The nation’s capital is a good feature on Thanksgiving Day. DC reminds me of Paris, especially in the rain.

262. PASSAGES. Cape May, New Jersey.

261. PASSAGES. Cape May, New Jersey. There is something both sweet and sour about a resort town off-season–a vibe caught beautifully in the Merchant/Ivory film, “Remains of the Day.” The stillness and silence are a welcome respite from the collisions of midtown Manhattan. This photo was taken in late dusk, almost dark, and would not have been possible without HDR, Photoshop, and the insane light-sensitivity of digital (shooters from the analog world are surprised by how few lights they need nowadays, and have to adapt to the phenomenon of imaging devices being more, rather than less, light-sensitive than the human eye). The advances in photographic technology in the past 20 years are genuinely astonishing.

260. PASSAGES. Cape May, New Jersey.

259. PASSAGES. Cape May, New Jersey. Ever feel that you are trapped in an Edward Hopper painting?

258. PASSAGES. Cape May, New Jersey. Jersey’s “other coast” (Delaware Bay, straight east of Baltimore). It seems every region on the planet has that little-known gem.

257. PASSAGES. Atlantic City, New Jersey. The famed boardwalk on a chilly autumn morning. At this time of day the boardwalk is populated by seniors on the morning constitutional. A springy wooden surface beats pavement any day.

255. PASSAGES. New Haven, Connecticut. Yale University fronting as Dracula’s castle.

240. PASSAGES. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Kingstown, the capital. Founded in 1722; population 16,500.

238. PASSAGES. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

237. PASSAGES. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Who knew there were such things as goat sheds? If the flora on this mountainside doesn’t show the fecundity of the soil here, tasting the produce definitely does. Modest lodgings aside,  Vincentian goats do not go hungry.
