Taking a quick break from the other 2 series; these shots had been waiting to be shown. Surprisingly, there is a common theme to these 3 miscellaneous photos. Each has a rich aged background which serves as a backdrop for stark play on line and shape. Why did these get lost?

We scale the walls, hard, cold, dim in the dusk. Impenetrable they stand. How do we go forward? How do we move up? How is this even possible? Against all probability we will break to the other side, to our reflection.

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.

A different flavor, a yellow descent.

The rusted metal grips the teal walls, clamps them down and spreads like a parasite. Age is inescapable. The scars are permanent. Nobody will rebuild this place. Nobody will paint it anew. The only path to freedom is disintegration.

Fairly straightforward point. Vectors, blocks and axes.
