New York City, sometime in 1961. Enhanced and colorized from the original Polaroid (below).

She was likely moored at Pier 90 along the Hudson River.

The original Polaroid image was taken by my Dad.

I don’t have an issue with using AI to help an image as long as it stays faithful to the original.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

I recently acquired a very nice Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W7 compact digital camera from 2005. In it was a 1.0GB SanDisk Memory Stick PRO with some images that were taken in late 2013. Here are a few of the most interesting so far. I believe they were taken in West Texas and New Mexico but I don’t know the photographer’s name.

Love the minimalism of this image.

The Sony is a 7.2-megapixel camera with a super sharp (and fast) Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens and CCD sensor.

CCD sensors record colors very accurately and 7 megapixels is plenty sharp.
Love the Pepto Bismol pink!
I believe this was in a small town near El Paso taken on November 2, 2013.
Makes me want a hamburger!
Nice balance between the cool shadow areas and the warm color of the setting sun.

Rediscovering these neat little compact CCD digital cameras from the middle 2000s can be a rewarding experience. Their film-like images are in contrast with the super high-resolution images we’ve grown accustomed to in our modern CMOS and full-frame digital cameras. BTW, the Sony was listed at around $400 when it was released in 2005.
