About Me
- c.o. moed
- MY PRIVATE CONEY presents IT WAS HER NEW YORK, the short stories that accompany the work-in-progress video and photo collection of the same name (myprivateconey.com - media link - IT WAS HER NEW YORK). The stories and the media explore the tender rubble that holds both my mother, Florence's and New York's soul as one disappears into old age and the other into gentrification. All are real observations and/or experiences with very little tall-tale telling. Except when it makes the story better. Please visit myprivateconey.com for additional information and sample works.

Nice one-what camera are you now using??I plan to get a new one--saving up.
The name of the bar gave me a chuckle. My mom used to use that word. She would have fallen over in a fit if she knew what that word actually was. In 1941 Don Taylor and Johnny Paup of the Army Signal Core were making words out of 5 letter code groups....SNAFU...Situation Normal All F****d up. Mom was such a lady but there she was using that expression in all innocence (or maybe not).
Glad to see you have your camera. Hope the beast performs as well as the last one.
Wow! Thank you so much for that. I didn't know that.
Melanie, It's a powershot canan SD 1300 point and shoot. What I want is to upgrade to the sony nex5 in January after the holidays. this has an iso up to 1600 which had changed my night shoots a bit. love the expansion.
same city, different camera: beautiful shot as always! that sounds pretty nifty!
