What more can you say? It's Central Park. The best city park on the planet. The place is just beautiful all year round. I just love the combination of nature juxtaposed against Architecture. Amazingly, this was taken in late October this year and very few leaves are turning. It almost looks like mid summer. I was trying to frame the two high rise buildings w/ the branches, so it gave them a hat. Enjoy.
Most of the photos you see of the iconic Chrysler Building in New York City are taken from other buildings and high up, but this was a unique opportunity as I caught this beautiful building in sunlight from the shade of nearby buildings. Enjoy.
This is a hand-held photo of the Washington subway system. I was very impressed by it's cleanliness and efficiency, as compared to the Boston system. The stations are spacious and the system is easy to navigate. I thought this waffle slab ceiling was incredibly beautiful. Enjoy.
I was visiting my sister in Ohio, where I grew up, and we decided to make a trip to Cleveland for the day. This is a photo of the inside of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, right before I was immediately told by security "No Photos". Living on the edge I guess, as long as I'm not selling them. I.M. Pei, the building's Architect, would have hated this policy. Enjoy.
You are looking at the Newport Harbor Lighthouse located in Newport, RI just off the mainland and next to the Hyatt hotel. In the distance is the Newport Bridge. How original. I liked the play of the sweeping suspension bridge, the scale of the lighthouse and how it almost appears to stretch itself over the top of the diminutive lighthouse. Lots of stuff going on here. Enjoy!
As you will come to realize, Frank Lloyd Wright is perhaps my favorite architect. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to revisit the Guggenheim Museum the last time I was in New York. I wanted to get a different perspective of this beautiful structure, so I laid down on my back in the middle of the main floor and shot some photos up towards the skylight. Just before security scuttled me out of the area for doing something "against the rules" I suppose. Enjoy!
I thought this photo was fitting since it’s springtime around here and the magnolias, dogwood trees, and spring flowers are in mid-bloom form. Not only did Thomas Jefferson design an incredibly thoughtful and architecturally significant home, the grounds are spectacular in the spring time. One could argue that Jefferson was perhaps the most talented president this country has ever seen. Enjoy.
I had the unique opportunity to tour the Leonard Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge in Boston, MA about two months before it was officially opened. An integral part of the 14 Billion dollar “Big Dig” project, this bridge represents the icon of the entire project. I still haven’t photographed this at night, but it’s spectacular. Enjoy.
