MONOCHROME MONDAY


One wonders what it is like to be inside looking out - this building dominates Cooper Square, reflecting its neighbors sometimes partially, sometimes totally, as seen below. It depends on how one approaches it. Cooper Square intersects with 7th Ave, 4th Ave and Astor Place in New York.




The neighborhood seems destined to attract modernist architectural design disasters, including Cooper Union's own new building behind this one. (Cooper Union is one of the nation's oldest institutions, dedicated to preparing students for the professions of the arts and architecture).

  1. Photo 3 definitely has a mystical quality about it.
    I think someone should write 'The Lord of the Shaky Castle'.

  3. Narcisitic bunch, aren't they - all looking in each others' mirrors.

  4. I like the third. For me, I would crank up the contrast a couple of clicks to make it a little more dramatic. That's just me.

  5. The building itself is interesting and the reflections are intriguing.

About Me

My photo
JANUS - looking backwards and forwards is a Janus trait - for me a way to record the "in between thought", whether in retrospect, or as a notion for the future. I make original prints, currently etchings. I sometimes write and take photographs. I am inspired by what I see and read. Although postings are chronologically recorded by date and time in this protocol, the images exhibited, often seen in different stages of production, are from another time. So, with each new posting, earlier postings can undergo revision or amplification as will be noted, or requested. The addition of a SNAPSHOTS Blog and a VIRGINIA WOOLF Blog are included because my different interests tend to influence what I do as an artist. There will be a Family Blog, too, for the same reason.
