Chicago Sturdy Architecture

Chicago, City Of Wind And Steel

I love Chicago and especially the buildings and bridges.  Everything there just feels massively solid.  I love shooting with the Phase One P65+ and I do a lot of hand held work with it.  So, on a visit last year to Chicago I got up early and wandered the streets.  This is one of the shots I came back with.  I like it because it shows the old rivets and solid steel feel of the bridge and then a modern shiny sky-scraper arising from the right side.  Shot with a P65+ and a wide angle lens hand held.

Speaking of architecture, Phase One is going to be holding an Architecture PODAS workshop in Chicago this summer.  This will be a unique workshop lead by two of the greatest architecture shooters of today.  Each participant will get a Phase One camera and P65+ back to work with.  It will be three days of intense interior and exterior shooting as well as classroom time on post production and business.  Watch www.phaseone.com/podas for news on this soon.  Sign up on the site if you want to receive more information.

Another Peeling Paint Day

Peeling Paint On A Train Car

I’m back to peeling paint.  I love the way time plays a part on making art.  This image was photographed in an abandoned train car.  I am sure at one time this was a nice color red.  But over time with the help of the elements the paint began to peel and flake off yielding this shot.  I love it because it is random and ever-changing.  I went back to the location not too long ago and just about all the paint has now fallen off.  It’s great when you shoot something and it is now gone.  More paint and rust to come.

Peeling Paint

Peeling Paint on Railroad Car

Today’s iamge is a shot I did of a rail car at an old rail yard near Indianapolis. I love peeling paint, rust and such. This is one of those peeling paint shots. It was shot with a P65+ and then worked a bit in Photoshop and on the iPad. Then output for this blog. Just something I was having fun with.
