Some examples that sprang from the fertile loins of yesterday’s little photo play. The idea here is to challenge the senses…what do these buildings really look like? What could they look like, through an unusual, personal, mental filter? Do the composites actually capture something more of what they are?
A challenge of perception and imagination…
An unusual view of the World Trade Center area and the 9-11 Memorial Reflection Pond:
Reflection, #1 (9-11 Memorial), Quad. NYC, 2015
An historic New York building made famous among photographers from an early Alfred Stieglitz image:

The ceiling at the Ellis Island Main Building (the former immigrant processing center), still echoing with the voices of the millions who passed through there:
Ellis Island, #4, Quad. NYC, 2015
Still a very beautiful structure and the world’s tallest skyscraper from 1931 to 1970. It was completed in record time–something like 410 days!:
Empire State, #5, Quad. NYC, 2015
Pop quiz! Can any native New Yorkers out there identify this one?:

One World Tower, #6, Quad. NYC, 2015
Another UTB–Unidentified Tall Building–floating above the sky line. OK, which is it, New Yorkers?:
