Die Hard Premiere : These images are from the Die Hard premiere at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Being somewhat experienced at having an instinct for getting to the right spot to take photos, I weaved through the huge crowd to the spot right beside the red carpet leading to the stage. Although we had to stand there nearly 1 1/2 hours, it was worth the wait from a photo perspective. Most importantly, Kate Beckinsale (who is not in the movie but married to the director) had a lifelong dream come true: She was able to say "Hi" to me and pose so I could take her picture! Oh...we also saw Bruce Willis and the rest of the cast. It was kind of strange to be sitting in the theater with all the stars of the movie you were watching. I wasn't sure if Bruce would be offended if I left at any point to to buy popcorn. It happened to be a great movie...non-stop action. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars....would get a full 4 if I was in it.

Since I tend to always have my camera with me in case of unexpected photogenic circumstances, I parked the car and discovered this was a meeting of Long Island Witches and Wiccans. Most of the woman, and little girls, wore wings. Many of the men wore horns. All the members wore pentangles. They were all extremely nice and were happy to allow me to take their pictures. I will be adding more images as I find time to sort through the many interesting ones captured on that lovely spring day

Reunion! : Stephanie and her "crew" certainly did an outstanding job and deserve our gratitude! Best way to view is click on "SLIDESHOW" button up above, then click "FULLSCREEN" sit back and enjoy. MANY PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT COULD NOT ATTEND) HAVE E-MAILED ME AND ASKED THAT PEOPLE IN THE PICTURES "IDENTIFY" THEMSELVES, SO THEY CAN KNOW WHO YOU ARE. If you want to do so, simply add you name, and of course anything else you want to say, in the "COMMENT" section down below...make sure you select the comment for the single picture, rather than the entire gallery. Also be aware of the fact that your comment will take a few hours to appear after you post it. You can also send any image to others by simply clicking on the "SHARE PHOTO" button up above. (If anyone would prefer that their image not appear here, simply e-mail me and it will be immediately removed). After you've enjoyed the Reunion images, why not check out the other photo galleries...my photographic "specialty" is Landscapes and Seascapes. Click the blue "HOME" button up above to see a listing. If you like any particular photo (not those in this gallery), please "vote" for it by hovering the mouse over the image and clicking on the green "thumbs up" icon. That helps provide feedback/guidance for my future photo expeditions. Thanks.
