plaza

Shadows

These images shot from a kitchen window in New York in July just turned up on a camera I haven’t used since then.

Is this a liminal space? It appears to be a public sculpture plaza in a fancy building on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. But it’s empty and devoid of people. It’s the space between the street and the Lever offices. It’s attractive but looks rather forlorn and abandoned.

Hotel Room Views, Brussels

We spent last week in Belgium as tourists. We walked around Brussels for a few days, then took a train to Ghent for a day, a train to Ostend the next day and Bruges the day after that. Then we shifted to Antwerp for a few days. Lots of pictures coming up, many of them just touristy snapshots and postcard images. I will attempt to weed out too many you could just see in a guidebook and focus on those with a slightly more artistic or, at least, I hope, interesting perspective. As always, click on any image to see them all full sized (if you’re getting this in email you may need to click through to my site first by clicking on the post title, above).

Magritte? Tuileries?

My first visit to the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Meier is a genius. As the next couple of weeks worth of blog posts will demonstrate, there are a million perspectives to capture here and they change with the light. I was only here a few hours but be warned – I’ll be posting tens of images from the Getty over the next week or two.
