Image of the Day: Brooklyn Bridge

Flying over the center of the Brooklyn Bridge as it leads to and from Manhattan. It was at this point when I realized I was getting some unique and spectacular images and that this shoot was going to be a ball! From here we headed out to the Statue of Liberty before turning north up the river.

 

 

More wise words…

 

 

Stripes and Solids

Sunlight through the shutters at dawn helped produce these remarkable stripes and solids

 

 

Inspiration…

 

 

 

Body of Work

The Body of Work Series is a celebration of the beauty in the curves and angles of the human body.

The light, the dark, the water drops, the skin, and the curves make this one of my favorite.

A Different City…

 

At dawn, I waded out into the middle of the fountain, waist-deep in water, to get this shot, praying all the while they would not turn on the fountains yet.

 

 

A few more images from the New York show…

During the peak colors of fall, I rented a helicopter, removed the door, and created exterior images of the city I loves.

Upon heading back to the heliport, we flew over Central Park and I shot the park I knew so well . The fisheye lens make s it look like the center of the universe and it certainly has been that for me in my many years in New York as a runner . I noticed people from all over the world, when viewing this photograph, can’t help but point out all the places they know or have had experiences in. If you look carefully, you can see the World Trade Centers, which stood for ten more months on the horizon, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Fifth Avenue, the headlights of taxis coming up Sixth Avenue and the taillights of taxis in Central Park, you can even see the soccer players. This gives a very exterior viewpoint of New York City and the one I prefer the most.

 

Shot at midnight from a rooftop on a nearby apartment building. The Hudson River is aglow with the lights from the bridge which itself is visually spectacular in size and beauty, naturally I just couldn’t resist. 

Image for the day: United Nations

In the fall of 2000, Michael rented a helicopter , removed the door, and created exterior images of the city he loves. I used my fisheye lens to feature the United Nations in this unique angle of the New York City skyline. We had just lifted off in the helicopter for the portrait session of the city.
