Brooklyn Bridge Perspectives: New, Old and Better

Joseph Kellard July 31, 2019

Do I revisit a place or should I explore somewhere new? My decision-making in answer to this question about my next photo shoot is made easier when I remember that the old can also be new.

Central Park Autumn Walk Before ’Fall

Joseph Kellard December 4, 2018

This year was different. I’m lured to Central Park each autumn and in recent years I’ve walked across her 843 acres shooting photos and videos for many hours on multiple weekends in October and November.

Quiet, Raw and Coiffed in North Central Park

Joseph Kellard May 5, 2016

Far from the buzz and bustle of Midtown are the northern sections of Central Park, where fewer travelers and comparative quiet are the norms. But like their central and southern cousins, the park’s upper reaches are a mix of the landscaped and the raw and rugged, perhaps more so than any other area.

Setting the Scene for Joan of Arc

Joseph Kellard April 26, 2016

What I noticed first about the equestrian monument to Joan of Arc on Manhattan’s West Side, as I approached from a pedestrian path in the small park named for the French patriot, is that she and her horse were not noticeable.

Midtown Views are Brooklyn Bridge’s Other Allure

Joseph Kellard February 2, 2016

Don’t let the Brooklyn Bridge or her many admirers fool you. There’s more to the 133-year-old structure than just her Gothic-style towers and web of steel cables.

Vanderbilt is Dangerously Distant

Joseph Kellard January 13, 2016

This was a tough photo to get. The monument to Cornelius Vanderbilt, by Ernst Plassmann (1823 – 1877), resides at the south facade of Grand Central Terminal, where the Park Avenue Viaduct wraps around the nation's busiest railroad station and other buildings.

Central Park Wears Autumn Well

Joseph Kellard December 7, 2015

Central Park always wears sandstone pedestrian bridges and arches. She sports wrought iron gates, fences and rails. Antique lampposts and ornamental wood benches line her winding paths, some laid with brick or cobblestone. Her most prevalent stone is granite bedrock, a gift from Manhattan Island.

Brooklyn Bridge Walk Puts the Spiritual in Secularism

Joseph Kellard August 24, 2015

What is a secularist to do when he needs a certain spiritual lift? Some climb to mountain tops; I walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Looking Beyond the High Line

Joseph Kellard June 23, 2015

The High Line is truly an urban “park.” Actually, it is a former elevated train trestle that was reconfigured into a walkway lined with various trees, lush shrubs, colorful perennials and stretches of grass, spanning roughly 22 city blocks on Manhattan’s West Side.

SKYLINE E-READER: My favorite shot of this year is an image of a woman lying on a bench, e-reader in hand, with the Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan skyline as a backdrop. What I particularly like about this images is the way her golden tan injects color into a scene dominated by a blues, grays and browns. 

My Top 11 Photos of 2014

Joseph Kellard December 29, 2014

It’s official: my favorite subjects to photograph are in Manhattan. This was an easy conclusion to reach, given that the city’s views monopolize my top 11 photos of 2014, as chosen by yours truly (why stop at 10?).
