Larchmont NY (town of Mamaroneck) is one of those wonderfully cozy villages that reminds me of more of the “old world” then the east coast of the United States. One snowy day in late January, I was running around with leases in Larchmont and New Rochelle. My client was stuck in traffic (due to the snow) and I found myself in Larchmont enjoying the snow while I waited. Eventually I vented my frustration at having to wait so long and starting randomly shooting. Disclaimer – no people, clients or otherwise, were harmed during my shooting spree – however some images were “captured.”
On a more serious note, this has been a difficult winter for almost everyone I know. Cold, snowy and frightening for many. So much loss of wealth and treasure should not happen in such a short period of time. Everywhere I’ve turned, I’ve seen lives torn apart by the financial crisis gripping the country. The following pictures are a reminder that the even this very difficult winter of our discontent and fear had its share of beauty and charm. For those who are not local – consider this a charming if snowy introduction to one our most charming villages.
In that last photo – I should have asked if anyone dropped by for lunch outdoors!
