Tag Archives: Brilliance Warmth It used to be called Beekman Tower, now it’s just “New York By Gehry.” It’s still brand new but they changed the name. No official word on why, but my guess is people are figuring out that Gehry has become a brand. It’s beautifully photogenic, and if you come back here you’ll be seeing lots more photos...   Not much to say here. The scene pretty much speaks for itself, and the processing was simple with an obvious saturation boost. This is on 11th Avenue — more from my outing on Sunday with Chris Robins. It’s hot out there so stay cool, kids. Tweet  I like to imagine that whoever threw away this perfectly serviceable suitcase just gave up. No more TSA gropes, scanners and inspections. No more scrounging for overhead space or getting slammed by the seat in front of you. But realistically, somebody probably just got a newer, better luggage set. Tweet  If you search for “house under golden gate bridge” on Google, you will find a few other images of this house, even on the main search page, and all of the pages refer to it as a customs house, but none of them have any history or information. So if you then search for “customs house...  For better or worse, the composition here is largely accidental. Oh, I did decide to point the camera straight up, but beyond that the framing was largely a guess. I suppose I could have crouched way, way, down, or even just lay down on the sidewalk, but I didn’t. So the fact that the...  This image gave me no end of trouble, and I still see flaws in it. Maybe some day I will start doing occasional entries like Tom Baker’s Fix It Friday series, in which he reprocesses an old image and attempts to make it better. To be clear, I don’t hate this, but I wish it...  Photo Post-Processing Tuturial – Using Nik Color Efex Portrait Filters for Streetscape Photography from Mark Garbowski on Vimeo. I shoot a lot of streetscapes in early morning light, known as the “golden hour.” Sometimes, however, the light needs a bit of a boost inpost-processing. This tutorial shows a part of my workflow using the Nik...  This is shot facing East, between 7:00 and 7:30 am, so the morning sun is behind these buildings. The speckled light you see is reflected off of the windows of the buildings across the street and bounces back to hit these buildings. You can see parts of the other buildings in some of the windows...  Before discussing the photo, let me offer a few thoughts on transportation policy. Actually, no. Yesterday’s screed garnered a fair bit of attention, mostly positive (or at least the negative attention remained silent) but it worked because it was organic. I’m tempted to say it came out of nowhere, but that is not accurate. I...  – There’s something very important I forgot to tell you.- What? – Don’t cross the streams. – Why? – It would be bad. – I’m fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”? – Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in...  I recently read one of those lifestyle articles in which the author reflects on life in New York City, the kind of substance-free article that is of interest only to navel-gazing New Yorkers, or those who imagine their lives would be more interesting if only they lived here. I usually skip these articles because...  I have previously noted my fondness for triangle shaped buildings, formed at the corners of non-square intersections, so shooting this intersection was a given. It is a 5 way intersection, which is responsible for the narrow-angled corners. The central building is 1 William Street, which dates to 1907, and is currently...  This is the World War II East Coast Memorial, located in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan. The eagle statue is oriented to face the Statue of Liberty. The inscription at the base of the eagle reads: 1941 * * * 1945Erected by the United States of America in proud...  Originally known as the Southern California Edison Building, this art Deco treasure was built in 1930-31. Now overshadowed by taller neighbors, it’s beauty still shines. Tweet  |
