Your Bio

I started shooting over 20 years ago with a simple Pentax K1000. I LOVED it. I shot everything from abstracts to sports, animals and a few weddings... Since then I've learned that a good photographer can create great photos with any camera, and although I've moved on from that old Pentax, I rediscover my "eye" and my passion for a great shot with every new upload. * Smiles. ~ Adrienne Brand

Japanese Stroll Garden, 2009 : The John P. Humes Japanese Stroll Garden is a 4-acre Japanese garden in Mill Neck, New York, providing a retreat for passive recreation and contemplation. Moving through the garden, where the views, textures and balance of elements have been planned following Japanese aesthetic principles, visitors experience a walking meditation inducing inner peace. Stepping stones are used to control the rate at which one moves through the garden, encouraging moment-to-moment reflection. The garden suggests a hillside landscape beside the sea, where gravel paths represent streams that form pools and cascades, eventually flowing into the ocean represented by a pond.

The Green-Wood Cemetery : Green-Wood Cemetery is one of the world’s great cemeteries. Founded in 1838 as the third rural cemetery in America, it was a leading tourist attraction by the 1850s, attracting 500,000 visitors per year. By the 1860s, the New York Times was reporting that “It is the ambition of the New Yorker to live upon the Fifth Avenue, to take his airings in the Central Park, and to sleep with his fathers in Green-Wood.” From 1850 to 1900, no American cemetery interrered more political leaders than Green-Wood. They came by the thousands and the hundreds of thousands, first as tourists, then as permanent residents: Civil War generals, murder victims, victims of mass tragedies, inventors, artists, the famous, and the infamous. And they have continued to come to Green-Wood Cemetery, bringing their lively stories and dark secrets with them. In all, almost 600,000 people have chosen Green-Wood as their final resting place.
