The Bottled Poet

Whimsical marketing strategy for a bottle recycling store … as one’s mind could easily change the words around without realizing.

The Artist Is The Art

As a passerby broke her concentration, this talented landscape artist pondered her next brush stroke.

Rocky Mountain Alberta Raptor – Hunting

 

This female Swainsons Hawk was likely impressed by prey nearby in grass.

Big City Traffic

Traffic never stands still as commuters travel by subway, foot, and car between Brooklyn and Manhattan Island.

Mr. Ed

By day, these trusty steeds take tourists thought Central Park, and my night along Times Square. This friendly guy enjoyed posing for me.

Calgary – Fashion Has No Borders

 

Brittany is a great model with style!  This event is… Fashion Has No Borders. Huge modeling talent on hand, including a few local celebrity models.

Manhattan Bridge

This seemingly quiet little park is anything but. The constant ”sledgehammer on steel” banging of subway traffic on multiple rails makes ear plugs desirable.  

Grand Central Terminal

Even with low clouds and fog settling in, the “city that never sleeps” continues to move along even at three in the morning.

Street Dance

With a combination of music, dance, and gymnastics, this street performer and the rest of his team gathered the crowds…including some very young ones in carriages.

Atlas At The Rock

With overcast night skies, this perspective of Atlas at the Rockefeller Center seemed to extend into the clouds.   

Brooklyn Bridge

Looking across the East River from Brooklyn to Manhattan, as the sun had already set.  

Empire State Building By Night

Taken from “The Top of the Rock” at the Rockefeller Center as we had a spectacular sunset. 

NYC Tailor

Near the hub of Broadway, this seasoned tailor, works away mending the clothes of both celebrities and commoners.  

Statue of Liberty

This is a bit of an alternative perspective of this world renowned statue.

Aircraft Carrier In Manhattan

 The now retired USS Intrepid is permanantly docked in Manhattan on the Hudson River. This SR 12 Blackbird is one of many warbirds parked on deck.  

Performance Rehersal

Underground passage way, located beneath this old down-town theater, makes for a secluded place to limber up the fingers.  

Belly Laugh!

These Officers are wearing unique shoulder badges, indicating different Police Divisions.  There may have been some “jeering” going on as the other two were less than impressed as he let out a loud roar. Even his horse looked back and seemed to roll it’s eyes. :)  

911 Ground Zero Piper

    911 Ground Zero Piper (Philip Belpasso) is well known to the New York City masses. He remains a landmark-figure at the once World Trade Centre. A pleasure to meet him in Lower Manhatten.  

A Bird On The Hand, Is Worth Two…

Just a regular bunch of pigeons on a not-so regular bronze statue.

The Black Man…The White Man

Work shoes too large and attache case too small?…Who knows, as this kind Gentleman was concerned about neither.

Smiles

What can I say… Poochy and I never met, but he greeted me like a long lost friend. :) Comments welcome.

Hold Still For the Camera

Yard sale that I happened by while on a Inglewood Community photo walk.  The people holding the yard sale seemed to really be enjoying the day and passessers-by.  Comments welcome. 

Calgary Sports Council- Mayor’s Breakfast

It was an honour to be awarded by the Calgary Sports Council, and congratulated by Mayor Bronconnier. Bobsleigh Driver Adam A. and I met very briefly last January after I captured this photograph but then not again until today. Adam and Teammate Bobby attended today’s event, and took this photograph of our Mayor and I. More on this cool Bobsleigh Team here: http://muellerphotographycalgary.com/sport/2010-olympic-torch-at-calgarys-canada-olympic-park/

Calgary Flames!

T.J. Brody of the Calgary Flames, and T. Purcell of the Tampa Bay Lightning scramble for puck-dominance at any cost… they were even ready to run me down! ;) These are great players with tenacidy for our world’s number 1 cold climate winter professional sport! 

High-Liners

Engineered towers like this can be 180+ feet tall. These agile climbers/techs were on a well-deserved break when they spotted me looking up at them. Comments welcome.  

Biker Wave

  A large insurgence of Harley riders came to Calgary recently. This biker acknowledged me taking his photo, and I like to think he meant it in the nicest possible way. :)  

Princess

 

In the crowd and bustle of the festivities, this girl looked back as her mother took her arm. After providing a few seconds of verbal guidance, the mother was content and let her go. Comments welcome.  

Ironman Calgary-2010

Emanuela B. just-crossing the finish line at the Calgary Ironman 70.3 mile race this Sunday. Her exhuberance says it all. Racers “gave-their-all” and did a fantastic job! Comments welcome.

FIFA = Future Energy

 

Almost everyone we know is pumped with the fine sportsmanship and fervor of World Cup Football! Up-and-coming energetic athletes give their all. Comments  Welcome.     

Husky Tower

Sunny days just feel great to head out with no photo objectives in mind. Not sure what happened to this gentleman’s finger, but he seems well-on-the-mend and obliged the Calgary Tower as backdrop. Nikkor 10.5mm Fish-eye. Comments welcome.

Reminiscing Calgary Olympics

 

I was fortunate to be there at the right time to capture this scene. The sun was setting, with a cool low fog covering the Bow River valley. Comments welcome!
