Grew up in Ho-Ho-Kus, a suburban small town in North East New Jersey. Currently lives and works as a caretaker on a small island on Lake George in Upstate New York.
Great photos - so glad to see you posting. Any chance of seeing the ice branches available as a photocard? I'd love to have the window from the 1/29/09 post, too, since I'm being greedy in requesting to throw money your way... :)
Hello Bast, Glad you like the photos. I'd be more than happy to provide you with photocards. It will be easier to continue this thread via e-mail:

I can certainly provide you the ice on branches image as a photocard, however, the window shot from the post of 1/29/09 is going to require a little bit of work on my end because the dimensions of the image are nowhere near 4x6 (very long and narrow) but I'm sure I can come up with something. Shoot me an e-mail when you get a chance and we'll see what can be done for getting you some photocards. Regards, Jeff
