Ireland, Horses

Ireland, Horses

This image is one spotted out of the corner of your eye while traveling 100KM per hour on a barely wider then your car Ireland road just after a vicious rainstorm...So, of course you back up, fit your car in  a parking space, and make the image......

Belfast Political Murals

Belfast Mural 

On the last trip to Ireland I took the Black Taxi tour of what was once war torn Belfast. Our driver told stories of growing up during the more turbulent times in the Republican and Loyalist areas - somewhat like battlefield tourism. I doubt very much that any particular driver will not have an opinion, albeit biased, of the many political murals that cover the walls and homes in these areas. I asked my driver what would happen if someone did not want a murla on their house to which he replied, 'then they need to move'...

These neighborhoods are safe today as much as the black taxi's want to tell you otherwise - they do, however, know which areas to avoid on any given day....Well worth the cost.

This image, according to our driver, is a mural of how this all got started. Of course a bit of shameless promotion added...

Leaving for Cape May today for two days of shooting with a friend....

Big Yellow Taxi

Big Yellow (Water) Taxi

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.......Joni Mitchell

Another image form the other day - this time a big boy camera image.....The bridge in the foreground is the Williamsburg and the distant bridge is The Brooklyn.....

Toldeo Gun Shop

Gun Shop - Toledo

I was driving out of Toledo last week when I caught this image out of the corner of my eye....not something I usually stop for but today could not resist the juxtaposition of guns, ominous sky and corn...So I turned around and went back.....All I kept thinking was 'Ain't that America'......

Coney Island - Morning Fog

Coney Island - AM Fog

I really enjoy walking on the beach on a cool foggy morning -  always create an much diffrent perception of the beach when the fog rolls in - creates something very different to photograph....Reminds me of a quote a friend sent me awhile back...

'I do not want to end up simply having visited this world'.....

Jupiter Beach, Florida

Jupiter Beach , Florida

It never fails to amaze me at what water looks like in a photograph - and Jupiter Beach has quickly become a mainstay for me. The rock formations at this beach are like 'a box of chocolates' - one never knows what will appear in the images. I have always thought this particular rock formation was some sort of prehistoric creature rising from the mist. Looking forward to another trip south this winter...

Boston Sunset

Boston, Massachusetts

This is from summer 2010. Photographed from a hotel near the bridge to Cambridge.......I was still playing with HDR at the time...whatever happened to HDR....

Made it to Carmel, Indiana yesterday - dinner with friends and past students last night - Indian Food.....always happy to catch up.....lots of talk about a location workshop next year - maybe the West Coast......

Packing the show today and off to Toledo tomorrow....I think Jamie Farr was from Toledo or maybe that was just in the Mash shows.....

I am slowly getting lost images back into the blog - the process will take weeks and weeks of tedious work. Actually am thinking about starting a newsletter instead....stay tuned...

Carmel, Indiana

Carmel, Indiana

On the road traveling to Indiana....Seems like I spend a good deal of time out there these days - who knew! The image today is from the car show in Carmel, Indiana a few weeks back....

My blog is still w=out of whack - going to have to reload every image one at a time....Http://HarrySandler.com is still up and running....And I have added a print purchase page.....

Indianapolis Car Show

 Found another passion this last week - photographing antique cars. As mentioned in a previous post I am loving the reflections and detail on these cars.....the craftsmanship and TLC in these vehicles is awesome.

I had planned to leave Indianapolis early on Sunday when I learned there was a large car show at the raceway home of the Indianapolis 500. On Saturday there were over 3,000 cars but with the possible rain on Sunday there were only about 750 cars. There was no lack in quality....so I stopped by on the way out of town..NOTE: The overcast day made the perfect lighting to photograph cars...

In addition to the great color and reflections they cars are a trip down memory lane - saw a few cars I actually owned - a 55 Pontiac, 55 Chevy, 57 Ford and a few others. These vehicles are like old songs and made me think about where I was when I owned a particular car....

Today's post are a few posts from the 350 images made on Sunday...


The owner of the vehicle below actually drove it to the show.....

 On a shoot in Lexington, Kentucky today so not much time as we have an early call - 8AM. This image from my last visit to the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas.....Very busy weekend for me then driving back to New York on Sunday....


Planning a trip back to the boneyard in late October.

Scotland - Inveraray Castle

Inveraray Castle, Scotland

 Inveraray Castle is located in Argyllshire, Scotland. According to Wikipedia the castle is haunted by the 'ghost of a harpist' who was hanged in 1644 for peeping at the lady of the house. There are those who say they hear mysterious sounds of a harp in the castle.

This image was made in January 2009 using a Mamiya 645DF and a phase one p65+ digital back.

Carmel Indiana - Car Detail

Car Detail, Carmel, Inndiana

Opened the Music, iPhone and Other Neighborhoods gallery show at the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery this weekend in Carmel, Indiana. Friday night there was an artist presentation with the official opening on Saturday night. The show will remain in Carmel until October 2 when it moves to Toledo, Ohio and the 20 North Gallery opening on October 7.

There was an antique car show happening today just outside the gallery so naturally today's post is a bit of classic Automobile detail. Unfortunately I was a bit rushed and never quote caught the kind of vehicle this was....stay tuned for more images from the car show.

Zion - Weeping Rock

Zion National Park, Weeping Rock

Very quick post today - continuous water 'weeps' out the the Weeping Rock. This water comes from Echo Canyon, one of Zion's many slot canyons. One of a few seepage areas in the park, and arguably the most impressive one....The water has been on these rocks for about 1200 years.....a bit of a hie but well worth it....bring plastic bags....
