Showing posts with label Last Year at Coney Island. Showing posts with label Last Year at Coney Island. Monday, September 21, 2009. With today officially being the last day of summer, I'll offer a few recent shots from Coney Island. Friday was a bright, clear day in New York, with a slight haze off to the horizon. The sun was noticeably into the low angle of winte r. Giving lots of glare off the water and long, stark shadows even at one o'clock in the afternoon. There's an eerie drone in the neighborhood...

Talking Pictures: The Metropolitan and The Essex
http://neiljmurphy.blogspot.com/2011/11/metropolitan-and-essex.html
Thursday, November 10, 2011. The Metropolitan and The Essex. I always liked this picture for the two-tone effect of the almost-silhouetted foreground and background and the way the midtone grays give a sense of distance to the buildings. If the buildings were as dark as the trees they'd seem as if they were both on the same plane. As it is, they're actually on three different planes. I had wanted to use this picture back in 2007 for my other website, Images of the Lost City. Visuals and Verbiage by.

Talking Pictures: February 2012
http://neiljmurphy.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 5, 2012. Just because I spend too much time wandering around cemeteries doesn't mean I've lost my sense of humor. To the contrary, I think one needs a sense of humor in order to pursue this hobby; if you let the locations and inscriptions get under your skin too much, you're apt to go looking for a mausoleum with an empty niche to crawl into. St Mary Star of the Sea, Cedarhurst, NY. Powell Cemetery, Bethpage New York. The Merriam-Webster dictionary lists the first known usage of the term...

Talking Pictures: September 2011
http://neiljmurphy.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. West 42nd street was still a miasma of filth and abandonment, with empty theaters and quarter peep shows on both sides of the block, interspersed with souvenir and counterfeit stores. After I took the picture I turned around, stepped back on the sidewalk, and put my camera back in the bag. He'd crossed the street by then, and hit me in the ass with the cane. True story. While I like the first two pictures here for their historical perspective, this is my favorite for its art...

Friday, December 16, 2011. It's a very handsome piece, dark gray with lighter speckling, three lines of type at the top and the date in the lower right, all carved in a powerfully simple typeface, fittingly called Gotham, and accentuated with silverleaf. So on June 23, 2006, with the building now sited forty feet to its west, the stone was hauled away in order for construction of the underground infrastructure of the WTC to begin. December 11, 2011.
