I’m sorry to disappoint my readers by saying the I won’t be competing in the Olympics this year.

Available light: Many shades of white - by Harold Feinstein
It’s mid-winter now and I figure it’s best to consider the season through the eyes of appreciation or risk succumbing to the winter blues (or acting on impulse and flying off to the tropics, which seems like a great, but impossible, alternative!)

Veteran’s Day, the U.S. Postal Service and me - by Harold Feinstein
I love art for the people! In a recent blog, I shared how Turkey’s Radyo Acik requested the use of my photograph Coney Island Boardwalk Montage (1950) to brand their Music of the People campaign. I’m happy about that and look forward to receiving one of their posters in the mail! But perhaps the ultimate… Continue reading
