January – Storefront, New York City
An earlier post describes why I prefer black and white. One of the points made in that post is that I’m just not very good with color. I don’t have a good feel for it. So coming up with twelve pictures in color was a bit of a struggle. It wasn’t helped by the fact that I’d decided to have one picture per month. For some reason the color pictures I liked clustered together in certain months. For example I had quite a few from June, July and October and very little from February and March. Maybe it’s because the sunnier months make for more vibrant colors. Anyway here are a few that I liked:
February – Bryant Pond Farm
March – Canoes, Roaring Brook Lake
April – Fiat 500 through Tires
May – Eirah and Geese
June – Facade, Le Bouchon restaurant, Cold Spring
July – Sailboats – Roaring Brook Lake
August – Butterfly
September – Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks at the Church of the American Martyrs, Putnam Valley, NY
October – Apple picking
November – Hessian Lake, Bear Mountain
December – View from Mount Beacon
