Thank you for the photos of Branch Brook Park. Since moving to PA 21+ years ago, I miss the park this time of year. Looks like they are taking care of the park a little better than the last time I visited. Beautiful photos!

Amazing images! Donald, you make a compelling case for a visit to Branch Brook Park, and I think that my lady and I will do just that this weekend. Thanks so much for posting these!

Comment on Pro vs Consumer Digital Camera Lenses by Larry Schwager

Again your advise is right on! I have found that my sweet spot in most of my lens is at F/8 and if I need to go past that I use my monopod or tripod (F/22). People alway ask why I use a tripod when using my camera a F/22 – but at F/22 (unless it is a very bright day) my shutter speed drops down – 1/60 or less and I get camera shake. At the lens widest aperture – I have great results when taking a very close up shot. And I totally agree that the weakness of the less expensive lens is the widest aperture.

I am so glad to see a photographer like you with common sense. It always amazes to be told that my equipment is junk. For me putting out the money that I did was a very large investment in my hobby. Yes a hobby – I make no money off photography. Therefore – finding a Canon Rebel XS with a kit lens (EF-S 18-55IS) on e-bay (brand new) for $400 dollars was great and adding to that three other lens that were purchased with a camera as kit lens and never used for under $200 dollars set me up in a great hobby. Your photographs proves the point and I am so happy to see someone with such a great skill taking detailed, interesting and pleasing photos – with common equipment. Thanks for your insight in what photography is really about – the pleasure, the seeking, and the self gratification of taking photos – without spending a fortune.

Thanks for the glowing review of the “cooling screen system” a design idea developed by my team of architects (Otak+Architekton) which I led during a one week design workshop/charrettte back in 2002. The design has set a new standard for Light Rail Station design in the US and elsewhere.

We don’t tend to get a whole lot right in Phoenix, but I agree that the visual design of the Metro and it’s station are quite well done.

Great description! The best part is the shaded seating area – which truly are functional. Early on, there were some who commented about the structures/shades and how they would never work during our hot summer months. As a daily rider of light rail in Phoenix, I disagree. There have been many times when the platform provided me with plenty of shade from the sun.
