An enourmous collection of New York City Images.
Note part way through shots by Weegee, Feininger, Kertesz and more. All of the imags are great and there are some famous ones sprinkled in.

Bethlehem, Connecticut. A good friend of mine builds timber frame houses and thought I might want to take some pictures of the assembly of a large, Japanese-style house his crew is putting up.
Post and beam or timber frame construction is beautiful and impressive on many levels but the part that interests me the most as [...]

A great flickr slide show of HDR images of Chicago.
This is a terrific collection of HDR (high dynamic range) images of Chicago. HDR pushes photograhpy in a fascinating way and while I don’t do it (currently) I love looking at it. Pushing photography toward painting really appeals to me, either with HDR, blur, or other [...]

New York City. I love the seemingly impossible overhanging structure of big glass tower buildings like this, Citicorp and others. In a sense it’s like having a covered vestibule on a tent or a house: the building is providing weather cover. But think about it, there is no external vestibule here, nothing sticking out. In [...]

New York City. I have to admit, a room high up in this tower would afford incredible views of Central Park and the city. For us regular folks the tower itself will have to be the view.
I have an idea: why don’t a bunch of us photographers get together and rent a room high up [...]

New York City. I was with some friends from Denmark who are Beatles fans so we walked up Central Park West to The Dakota to pay tribute to John Lennon. As we worked our way through the park, aiming toward 5th Avenue and 59th Street we came upon this view looking southwest toward Columbus Circle. [...]

Washington, Connecticut. The Hauser Bridge crosses the Shapaug River within The Steep Rock Preserve. It’s a cable suspension bridge with towers and two cables draped between them and attached to the center of the bridge.
The Steep Rock Land Trust is a local version of The Nature Conservancy, a non-profit group that through donations, buys [...]

Delta Shelter
Just when I thought I lived in a great house. Dang, I want to live here. Can you imagine the photographic possibilities? Oh my.

Dusk in Hong Kong
Fantastic. Put your cursor on the top of this image and move it down slowly and watch the sun go down. Very nicely done.

Bowling Green and Canyon of Heros at night
New York City. Just north of Bowling Green Park Broadway merges with Whitehall Street and is called Canyon of Heros because New York’s ticker tape parades originate here.
Canyon of Heros at night
Some of the buildings that form the "canyon walls" along the Canyon of Heros in the Financial [...]

Greenwich Village. New York is loaded with this stuff: seemingly decorative wrought iron the sole purpose of which is repelling humans or pigeons. It’s a well known fact that you can’t pee anywhere in New York and here we have proof that it’s tough to sit down as well.

New York City. I was leaving the PhotoExpo show at the Javits Center and happened to look up while on an escalator. I’ve been in this building dozens of times yet never really appreciated what a complex and beautiful structure it is. The symmetry and complexity of the internal superstructure on this huge glass ceiling [...]

Dubai skyscraper world’s tallest
Check the enlarged image, it will blow your mind.. This isn’t just a tall building but there’s very little around it to get in the way so it looks enourmous by comparison to everything around it. The enlarged image is a magnificent photograph.

The Flatiron Building (New York City) in 1910.
Dang, check out the street scene. Plenty of horses and trollys on tracks. Great.
Here’s what Google maps has on the same scene. A few changes have taken place.

New York City. The light was waning and just as I left the Seagram Building (built by Mies van der Rohe on the right here) I turned and caught the Citicorp tower (Hugh Stubbins) lit up by the setting sun. Because this part of the city is packed with glass boxes forming canyons, it’s [...]

New York City. I walked from Grand Central Station (42nd St.) up Park Ave. toward 54th St. and I was in a canyon of spectacular glass boxes which were doing amazing things with the diminishing light as the sun set. I realize that each of these buildings is a complex "machine" and a container for [...]

New York City. These days in New York it’s rare to see an old building framed by another old building; it’s more common to see an old building surrounded by glass boxes. These two buildings are obviously from different times and represent very different types of architecture but they still look great next to one [...]

New York City. The grid of the outer skin of a glass office tower coupled with the warping of some of its glass is reminiscent of David Hockney’s assembled photographs taken at various angles of a single scene. There are enough glass towers with surfaces like this in New York, not to mention multiple angles [...]

Los Angeles, California. While downtown to see Doubt I strolled down the block to see Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of the LA Philharmonic. The night lighting on the stainless steel skin of this amazing building was striking but there still wasn’t a lot of light for handheld photography. I shot anyway [...]
