New York City. Walking along 42nd St. between Grand Central and Times Square the people watching is incredible. Being the (un) street photographer that I am, I looked up instead of across and found the scene a bit less crowded, in fact, quite desolate.

Los Angeles, California. Every time I get to the Getty I’m astounded by the architecture. The architect Richard Meier put incredible lines, windows, angles, curves, and textures in almost every view. You look up, down, across and through in almost any place you can get to and there are things of interest to see. Looking [...]

Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California. I’m pretty taken with the rotunda of the entrance pavilion of the Getty Center. There’s something about the lines, the light, and the shapes. Can’t help myself.

New York City. This image is from a trip to New York I made with my friend Gary over the Holidays. If memory serves, Madison Square Garden is a block to my right. Gary and I spent a good twenty minutes photographing the flags in front of this building. The wind was just right to [...]

Almost every town in New England has one of these traditional Congregational churches and while they look great in daylight they also look great lit up at night. The coldness of New England winter and the traditional white exterior offset the warmth of candle-lit windows. I’m not a Christian nor do I belong to this [...]

My flickr contact Michael Greenwood did a great job framing this historic staircase. Two female staff look bored as they gaze over the grand white marble stairway entrance to the Museo de la Revolución in Havana. Those steps look pretty now but in 1957 they were flowing with the blood of students who died trying [...]

New York City. A quick shot looking up into the fog before we went inside Grand Central and boarded the train home. Fog is beautiful and had I had more time in the city I think I could have made some nice images of these big buildings with their lights in fog. I’ll call this [...]

I’m experimenting with an application called PTLens which corrects pincushion/barrel distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, and perspective. In this case, the 24mm end of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L causes distortion in the perspective on buildings left and right of center. Before: After: The image would need to be cropped to remove the black areas left [...]

New York City. Before we boarded a subway to Brooklyn Gary and I sat down to eat lunch on the steps of this rather large investment bank. These are the greedy bastards that built insanely risky investments from collections of sub-prime mortgages cooked up by the likes of Countrywide Realty (California) and others. The sad [...]

New York City. Gary and I spent the afternoon walking around New York and as usual, the flatiron building was a magnet. I caught him getting a picture of it with his Canon PowerShot 1200 IS which both of us consider a very nice compact camera. Gary taking a picture of the Flatiron Building with [...]

Elevator for Grain, Reinvented for Art A rare survivor among the stately wood-crib elevators that once towered over rural America, this 105-foot-tall structure has been reincarnated as one of the strangest new homes for contemporary art in the Northeast, a place that feels like a Lower East Side gallery transplanted into a treehouse, redolent of [...]

Michael Wolf’s incredible collection at The New York Times’ Lens photoblog: Life Behind Glass. These images were made with a medium format camera in downtown Chicago. The comments section gets interesting because as you’ll see in the collection, Wolf is shooting with a long lens into the lives of people in buildings a long way [...]

New York City. Any time I walk by this great building at the intersection of Broadway, 5th Ave., and 23rd St. I have to take a picture of it. Day or night, it’s a fascinating piece of historical New York architecture. Flatiron Building at Wikipedia

Any landscape photographer who lives within driving distance of LA needs to see this important photography show. It is simply one of the best photo shows [...]
