On my way to the Headless Horseman Hayride and Haunted Houses, I stopped off at the Sleep Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow NY to set the mood right.

  I'd like to start by saying that I absolutely love Phillipse Manor, Sleepy Hollow Manor, and Tarrytown NY.  I began selling real estate in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown in 2005, working with Legends Realty Group, now willam Raveis Legends Realty Group.  Our very first office was situated directly across the street from Phillipsburg Manor and up the street from the Old Dutch Church (and cemetary).  Luckily,  my desk was positioned by a corner window and I could see the throngs of people flocking to Philipsburg manor in hopes of learning more about it's rich history and maybe even getting a little spooked by the Legend.      Every year they host a variety of events but by far the Halloween events are probably the most heavily attended.  I've had out of state customers ask me "Is there re... 09/07/2014

Almost every shutterbug in Westchester NY takes photos of Lighthouse Landing in Sleepy Hollow at some point in their lives.  One can't argue that there is a dearth of photos on this particular subject.  I guess I'm no exception to the rule because I have quite a few photos of the Lighthouse Landing from various perspectives at different times of the day.   Since it is so overdone,  I did make an attempt to come up with a unique perspective on it.   In my latest effort I shot many photos from many different angles.  The shot above stood out as unique.  I hadn't seen anyone take that angle before.  I liked the composition.  However, initially, it was intended to be a color photograph.   However, the color version just left me flat.  The combination of the  cloud cover along with the metal... 08/24/2013

Recently I  was working on a project that had me taking quite a few photos of the same or similar subjects.   In one case, I was trying to capture the Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse with the old Tappan Zee Bridge in the background.  The photo above was the second attempt at the same subject and below is the initial attempt.  The photos could not be more different. Now,  I wanted to emphasize the differences with respect to light and color. I do realize that the angle, scope and distance from the subject was significantly different.  This had not been my original attention.  Unfortunately, as the construction started on the bridge, I found the scope of my photography limited by the cranes and other equipment that was now gracing the landscape.  However, setting that aside, what I was hoping to... 08/22/2013

Lately I've been taking a lot of photos along the Hudson River.  The sheer concentration on the Hudson River was due in part to a client who had some very specific requests with the Hudson River as the subject.  The process  of such a focussed effort drew my attention to the fact that no two photos of the Hudson River are ever really alike.   They can be in the same location at the same time of day and still be quite different.  The distinctive cloud formations, the sunsets that range from the brightest yellows and purples to the palest pinks create  that unique "Hudson Valley sky" seems to produce endless variations.  Trying to recapture a moment is futile in such a situation...once you have missed the moment, it is gone.  The sunset above was taken  from Kingsland Point Park when I wa... 08/18/2013

The village of Sleepy Hollow was finally able to solve a long standing and critical drinking water storage problem which the help of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

It's been a week since the beginning of the Labor Day weekend and most of us are back to our old routines.  Although traditionally we celebrate New Year's in January, September seems to be a point of demarkation and renewal for most of us.  The summer is over, if you are a student, you are back in school.  Many people that I know think that this is the time to clean house, make resolutions and begin anew.  Sometimes its an opportunity for a do-over on the New Years resolutions we broke months ago!  However you look at it, the unofficial end of summer has come and gone. Nevertheless,  I will spend the next couple of weeks posting photos of the summer just past.  Maybe its because I  can't quite let go - or perhaps its because the fall foliage is just not out yet.   In any case though we... 09/06/2012
