Thin structures hold the crushing metal in balance. A modern day Tower of Babel. Can this one collapse into thousands of languages?

This shot cuts the composition in 2: sharp positive and negative space battle for control. Striped energy balances these tendencies.

I am taking a break from “Vertigo”, and mixing in some recent shots of Frank Gehry’s IAC Building on 18th and West End. It is a beautiful but thoroughly stubborn object, which I had the pleasure of conceptually breaking down into smaller bits. Themes of composition, line and reflection predominate.

The arch hangs delicately in balance.

Climb the trusses to the metal heart of the beast, pulsating with sunlight and air.

Take flight in the shapes holding this construct together. Trace its beams to origin. This series is a close study of the Queensboro bridge and the vertigo it inspired/demanded.
