Frank Photography

I went to Germany from March 16-30, 2023 for a conference and fun, spending time in Stuttgart, Koblenz, Cologne, Bonn, Munich, and Frankfort and took pictures of some stuff along the way, beginning with The Arrival.

It was cold and snowy, so I took some pictures of the Winter white lack-of-color in the neighborhood by me. 16 pictures.

I took some pictures of fall colors on the South Hill Recreation Trail plus a few of the 6 Mile Creek dam and another hot air balloon in the area. 28 pictures.

I took some pictures of fall colors in Ithaca Falls plus a hot air balloon in the area. 11 pictures.

I took some pictures of a really neat sunset while standing outside my apartment. It was quite striking. 10 pictures.

I took some picture of our first Fall League frisbee game of 2022. Hightlights include not only frisbee game pictures but some of a cool orange (also) full moon! 34 pictures

Once again I tried to get some pictures of the Perseid Meteor Shower from the top of Mt. Pleasant. I thought I didn't get any, but it looks like I might have got a few at the end. 16 pictures

I went to Martha's Vineyard October 7-12, 2021, to visit my sister and help her close up the place for the winter. Since it was late in the season, it wasn't crowded at all, and the weather wound up being very warm and pleasant. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we mostly walked around where we could be outside and not around tons of people. The weather was conducive to that. I took a bunch of pictures of stuff, including cliffs, beaches, high tides, a few night shots, and more, and have a few nice panoramic shots of places like the Aquinnah Cliffs and Menemsha. There are 6 subpages organized by topic rather than chronologically, so let's start with the glassworks.

About 150 pictures total, across 6 subpages, most of which have around 15-20 pictures each, except for the last one that has 64.

My friends Nate and Diane were in town visiting family. We met up at Upper Treman Park and hiked around by the falls and the rim trail. I took some pictures of us, the falls, and the area, including some composite photos (inlcuding a somewhat patchy but big one of Lucifer Falls composed of 19 individual images). It was a nice day for a walk. 20 pictures

I took a few fall pictures around Ithaca and vicinity. Some have proper fall colors, others are a bit gray and foreboding, hinting of seasons to come, or perhaps reminders of seasons that have passed. Also, there was a backhoe in my backyard. 20 pictures

The Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was visible just after dusk for a little while, so I went to Sunset Park and took some pictures of it plus a few of the sunset colors over the lake. 10 pictures

I went out at night just around the corner from where I live and took some pictures of fireflies! They were putting on quite a show. In the low light some of the pictures look almost like paintings. 13 pictures and 3 videos.

I went on a lunchtime walk with a couple of friends and their dog. After discovering the initial park was too crowded, we went to Ithaca College which was devoid of people (and zombies). I took some pictures of our walk. I took a few shots of Cayuga Lake but I only had a wide angle lens with me so it's barely visible. Also some shots of the woods, flowers, and other stuff. Around a dozen pictures.

A few pictures taken while riding my bike around Cayuga Heights and the Village of Lansing on a Sunday in late mid-to-late June. 17 pictures.

10 years after our initial visit to World's End State Park in Pennsylvania, Deepak and I returned to World's End. We went on a long hike. It rained a little, the sky was overcast, and the trees were not at peak color, but we had fun. I took around 20 pictures.

I hiked around the Audubon Habitat Wildife Sanctuary in Belmont, MA (Boston suburb) with my friend Tom. I took a few pictures of turtles trains and trees. Around 15 pictures.

I visted my sister on Martha's Vineyard at the end of September and beginning of October. Saw some nice sunsets, hiked at Felix Neck, and visited the MVY musuem. Photo highlights of those and more. Almost 80 pictures.

I went to the Binghamton Luma Festival, which involves projecting images and videos on buildings at night. It had some cool stuff. I took some pictures, about 80 are included. Around 80 pictures.

There's a secret swamp just behind the Ithaca Airport. I noticed it while riding my bike and then went back and took some pictures of it. See if you can spot the Swamp Thing! 15 pictures.

My friends Catherine, Cabot, and Carina visited me in Ithaca and we went for a hike in Treman Park and saw gorges and waterfalls, despite it being "balls hot" outside. Here are 25 pictures from that outing.

Yes, 1986! I found some old pictures from undergrad days in a box on a weekend road trip to Chicago with Jim to visit my brother and see some sights. I'm only including 8 pictures from that era.

I went to Norway for two weeks from April 14-28, 2019, starting in Bergen, then going through the interior with a stop in Flåm, and then onto Oslo. The first week was vacation, then a conference in Oslo, then another day or so before the trip home. I traveled Norway with Stephanie, and once in Oslo, Faith joined in on the fun. I took a lot of pictures. I cut the list down some and broke them up into different sections so each "album" wouldn't have that many pictures, but it now goes from Part 1 to Part 21. Part 1: To Bergen is where it begins.

The History Center in Tompkins County offered a tour of the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad station, otherwise known as the Ithaca Train Station. I went there with a few friends. Cool stuff. I had a new wide-angle lens I wanted to try out, and I did.

I went to Watkins Glen with a friend and hiked around a bit and took pictures of the gorge and waterfalls. It was summer and parts of the gorge were shaded while others were brightly illuminated. The leaves on the trees above were bright green, and the sandstone and shale were light and dark browns. Very different from my pictures there from Fall 2004.

I went to England for a 10-day vacation, saw lots stuff in places like Alnwick, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, York, Cambridge, and more. There are a lot of pictures (around 600) spread across 15 sections, starting with The Arrival.

A few pictures from a warm, sunny day in January including Ithaca Falls and broken ice on the ground.

Even though it was mostly just a costumed game of pickup ultimate, it still counted as our annual Halloween Hat Tournament.

Pictures from the annual August Perseids meteor shower, taken from Mt. Pleasant, near the observatory.

We got a lot of rain in a 30-60 minute period which caused some flooding at my apartment complex. I was lucky and am on high ground. Others, less so.

A few pictures of highlights of the July 3rd, 2017 fireworks.

I flew to Martha's Vineyard, off Cape Cod, to visit my sister and spend a few days on The Island. Included are some photo highlights from some hikes, some exploring of Vineyard Haven, and some wandering by the beach and water.

An aborted hike by Sapsucker Woods on a snowy, cold day in March (lousy Smarch weather).

Some pictures from the Roy Park Nature Preserve on a February day during a stretch of freakishly warm weather.

Another entry keeping with the theme of putting photos from our local ultimate frisbee group's costume Halloween Hat Tournament.

It started with me flying out to San Francisco and then (foolishly) driving to Sacramento for work (no photos). Then going to the DFRWS conference in Seattle. After that, my friend Mowgli and I began our Great Pacific Northwest road trip, for a little over a week across the Pacific Northwest. It started in Seattle, then went up to Vancouver, BC, in Canada, including spending the day at the Butchart Gardens near Victoria, on Vancouver Island, BC. After that, we headed south back to the US, stopping overnight in Olympia, the capital of Washington state, and then into Portland, OR for a few days, including spending a day by the Pacific Coast near Tillamook, OR.

I took a LOT of pictures. Around 560 are included across the six pages.

Start with the Seattle ones and continue from there.

I had a quit work trip to Santa Cruz. I flew into San Francisco, then drove down Highway 1, spent a day down there, then back, and home on a red-eye flight. I still had time to take a few pictures. A quick trip, but still some pretty places.

I went to the Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell to see the installation by Matthew Schrieber called Crossbow that consists of a room filled with lasers! It was neat.

A neighboring building in my apartment complex caught fire last night. Three fire departments responded, got it under control and put it out. I took some pictures of the building on fire and a few the next day.

Once again, our local ultimate frisbee group had our in-costume Halloween Hat Tournament. And I brought my camera. At some point I really should reorganize the topics on this page. But that point is not here or now.

I went to Stavanger and Oslo, Norway for a conference and a few days of fun and being a tourist, May 17-24, 2015. I took lots of pictures. Highlights in 5 sections, including Stavanger, Downtown Oslo, a boat tour of Oslo, the Frogner Park/Vigeland Statue park, and the return home. Just under 350 pictures total. It begin here in Stavanger, Norway.

It was cold in February so we got a lot of ice on Cayuga Lake. I walked out on the frozen lake and took a few pictures.

A few pictures of winter in February with some snow and ice and icicles, including frozen and snow-covered Cascadilla Falls. Ithaca in Winter is pretty though a bit cold (about 10°F).

It was fall, past the peak leaf season, but the leaves still had some nice colors. So I went by Cascadilla Falls and the gorge trail and took some pictures.

Some pictures taken by my friend Ellen of an art installation at Ithaca Falls on a Friday night, including me playing with a sort of papier-mache bird on a pole.

I wandered around Jennings Pond, just south of Ithaca with friends Rob and Stephanie. Here are a few photo highlights from it.

I took a jaunt down to Asheville, NC with a friend. We explored the downtown area, happened to see a Mardi Gras parade, saw a concert with Marillion guitarist Steve Rothery, and drove home on the scenic and beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway.

Cayuga Lake had ice on it. So I hike out on it and took some pictures.

I hiked around Sapsucker Woods on a snowy day in January.

Also, I took pictures of some ice fog on Cayuga Lake from Stewart Park when it was around 3°F out.

I took a trip to Martha's Vineyard to visit my parents and sister.

Next up, after Martha's Vineyard, I visited Tom and Sara in Boston and we went to Walden Pond.

After Walden, I spent a couple days in Rochester, NY and saw High Falls and the Fringe Festival.

I visited Philadelphia, PA, with my friend Stephanie, seeing some of the historic sites in the city.

I flew out to Oshkosh, WI, to the EAA Airventure aviation festival. Photo highlihts include the flight out, airshows, airplanes, the return flight, and more.

Antonia, Rob, and I spent the day at the Storm King Arts Center to see the wall Andy Goldsworthy had built as well as other "arts".

It snowed here (a little) on a Friday and there was some snow left on Saturday to play snow ultimate on before it melted on Sunday. A few "action shots."

Technically, this is a "thing" and not a "place", but I'm lazy, so it goes here. This past weekend was our annual ultimate frisbee Halloween Hat Tournament. People play in costume. This year, I went as Arthur, sidekick to the Tick. I have some photo highlights of costumes and some on-field plays of the Halloween Hat Tournament.

I went to the Apple Festival in Ithaca. Wandered around, saw all things relating to apples and the frying of things (including apples), also arts and crafts. It was quite crowded. Photo highlights of the Apple Fest 2012.

I took a trip to visit my parents in Florida in January. We went to Humphris Park, which is by Casey Pass and has a nice jetty, and also went to the Venice Area Audubon Rookery and saw various birds. Here are some pictures from the trip.
