Film stills of a Hoboken waterfront rooftop in a film by Elia Kazan and downtown Manhattan side streets in a noir film by Anthony Mann. A billboard structure from the Myrtle station platform and an architectural bridge in Cambridge. I often pause a movie to photograph a scene with my phone’s camera in the same way that while reading I’ll stop to write down a line. These acts are as mnemonic devices, after a fashion.
The multiple planes of graffiti along the elevated train in Bushwick and the scrolled metalwork and antennae adorning Kazan’s rooftops share a graceful coexistence amongst the stepped box forms of the buildings. Likewise the subtle and varied surfaces against the harsh angles in skyline and monumental form, rending consequence from gravity. As if from these buildings even I could take flight. These magical places will be rebuilt either as photograph or maquette.
see the results of a long day and night in the darkroom. i’ve uploaded six new photographs to my website: aug 23 updates. two new images placed my “city” portfolio are from the bushwick biennial installation “a faraway city” and the rest are in my “storm story” portfolio.
it’s a weird messy image of storm clouds forming over water. this setup uses a drawing of a lake in the background, the things closer to the camera lens are at higher altitude. it’s meant to be an aerial perspective.
my transfer station in new route to work at Chambers St JMZ. drawing in photo setup from recent post was of similar structures at G/F line.
