When I started this series I wanted to be shots in and around town. Luckily New Paltz is the kind of town where you can photograph a drum circle, a quaint main street and then drive (or walk) five minutes from town and see beautiful landscapes. Here are 5 of those from this past week.
On a quiet spring night last week I set out for some shots around town at dusk. I still made it home in time for SVU 🙂 Here’s another New Paltz in 5.
New Paltz is an amazing town. I’ve probably said something to this effect before on the blog, but, there have been plenty of weekends where I get home on a Friday and don’t get back into my car until Monday, all the while being able to hike, bike, eat, drink, shop and see live music within a comfortable walking distance from home. Often I’ll wander around town with my camera, looking very touristy, especially on the high traffic weekends. There’s such an interesting mix of people and things to see in such a small town, like a roving troubadour playing guitar along the rail trail yesterday, that I feel the need to document it a little more than I have been. Since I usually shoot landscapes, this is a nice change of pace and a great way to show others some of the beautiful things I see around here every day. Here are 5 shots from the past couple of weekends — New Paltz in 5!
