Battery Park and lower Manhattan before the Twin Towers from the Staten Island Ferry. Cost a Nickel then. One of my favorite things to do. #streetphotography #1950s #photography #Manhattan #Ferry #water #bay #cityscape #art #blueskyart bobswansonart.com/home

Time machine to the 1950s again. Adorable family at Radio City taking in the water display and the sculpture of the guy who gave us fire. Teenage me does it again. #prometheus #1950s #family ##streetphotography #art #photography #nostalgia bobswansonart.com/home

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood. #sunset #mountains #clouds #landscape #photography #art #Blueskyart bobswansonart.com/home

After lunch with my Mom at Macy's, where she worked. There was a bridge between Macy's and Gimbal's department stores. #newyorkcity #art #1950s #policeman #traffic #historic #rain #photography bobswansonart.com/home

Another Times Square shot from my wanderings as a teenager. I love the ladies having a grand time and all the little personal stories going on around them. I have no clue how I knew to take these shots. #newyork #1950s #art #streetphotography #nostalgia #photography bobswansonart.com/home

I'm really this old. Taken on one of my street photography roamings at around 15 years old. NYC has changed quite a bit. #streetphotography #timessquare #art #blueskyart #nostalgia #streets #photography #historical bobswansonart.com/home Live link in my bio.

I have been posting on IG and Facebook. Mostly my photographic art. So I'd like to see what happens here on Bluesky. Sailing to the sea. With a little help from ai. #sailing #sailboat #estuary #lighthouse #water #ai #bandonoregon #relax

Variations on a theme. Our ever changing mountain that's always the same and always changing. #mountains #sunset #portal #clouds #landscape #Bluesky.art #art #photography bobswansonart.com/home

One of my favorite scans from our backpacking trips to the Sierras. I wish the preservation of nature was a lot higher on the ultra rich's agenda. #ice #melt #iceberg #backpacking #camping #springmelt #landscape #details #wife #thetrail #hiking #nature #naturephotography

Truckee railroad yard. Somehow reminds me of the train hopping days of the Great Depression. Must be the feel of the times we're in. #railroad #tracks #snowstorms #snow #ridingtherails #railroads #travel #mountains #railyard bobswansonart.com/home

When I came across this I saw something truly moving and iconic in the midst of hundreds of ordinary event photos. The beauty of the old, literally embracing the new, to complete the circle of life. All with love. #child #baby #grandmother #portrait #blueskyart #art bobswansonart.com/home

Chiara scura. Light dark. The essential factor in visual art. #blueskyartshow #art #landscape #sunbeam #clouds #shadow #light

I go back a long ways. I took this photo of John Kennedy when I was 17 and was a nerdy school photographer given an amazing opportunity to be placed in front of the then Senator from Massachusetts campaigning for President in 1961. #jfk #art #johnfkennedy #portrait #celebrity #President

I haven't been on Bluesky for a while. And, not sure how many folks actually will see what I post. I'm getting a tired of big social media and the pay to play business. I hope this is a better alternative for showing my photo/digital art.

Ice, granite and the forces that shape the earth. We, as a species have yet to learn that this is our main priority. Not our petty differences. #ice #melt #iceberg #backpacking #camping #springmelt #landscape #details #wife #thetrail #hiking #nature #naturephotography

This is from a trip back to my old home town, NYC, a very long time ago. Scanning the old slides is helping me stay sane in these times #chryslerbuilding #architecture #architecturephotography #newyork #manhattan #artdeco #bauexart #building #buildingdesign #design #beauty bobswansonart.com/home

Time to try Bluesky again. Here's a photo of Mount Shasta from the Heard Peak Lookout. Happy Easter

Thought I'd post this from my ig to see how it goes here on Bluesky. I'm calling this, "Arrival at the Barren Lands. #waves #wavebreaking #wave #ocean #seashore #seascape #studyinblue #beach #restful #serenity #findingpeace #landscapepainting bobswansonart.com/home
