City Series II || Crisp Colour Pane

Todays post is something a little different in the City Series.  Whilst the subject matter is the same, I have 'developed' this image slightly differently.  You may not be aware but I am very drawn to colour in my images... yeah, ok, so thats not a big secret... but this image is awesome because of the vigour, liveliness and vitality with out being over saturated.  Beautiful and complimentary tones of graphical and architectural forms.  Enjoy.

City Series II || Polar View

This commences the start of a new city series, City Series II.

Captured in Manhattan, New York, I love this image for the green and whites, with the dark hatching.  It reminds me of a cold frosty winters day in Manhattan.

Polar View.

Enjoy.

City Series | Inception I

New image from the City Series titled "Inception I".

The bold tortured lines of the buildings reflections are twisted and deformed like in the movie Inception. But underlying this chaos and complexity, offices can been seen, were people are trying to impose order and organisation.  The metaphor for our minds? Perhaps.

Enjoy.

City Series | Ecru vista

This image was taken around 25th Street in Manhattan, from the roof of our apartment.  The light was going down very quickly and this vista just popped into and out of existence very quickly.  The thing about some of these reflections is that they are only seem for a short period of time from one year to the next.  I suspect this was one of those images.

As always you can click on the image for a larger version, and remember these images are copyrighted and have embedded Digimarc protection.

Enjoy.

2013 City Series: Sunset Now

This time, from Washington, on a very warm autumn day in the downtown area.  Actually, having said that, I'm pretty sure it was near the Capitol Building.  My GPS unit kept popping out, so I can't be certain.

So warm colours of sunset, with complex forms and planes.  Enjoy.

Singing Blue Silver

The title of this one is from some lyrics of one of my favourite songs, The Chauffeur, by Duran, Duran.

"...And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart 
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your dress all shadowy lined 
And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart 
Sing blue silver ..."

Yes, I'm an eighties child, and this image reminds me of this song.  The silvery blue and throbbing orange.  Yes I see/hear pictures :D

Enjoy.

I hope you like it.

Morphed...

Another from the City Series.  This one is called "Morphed".  Walking around Manhattan delivers so much to see and experience.  One of the things I really notice whilst I'm there is the amount of people. They are everywhere. Yes I know that isn't surprising... but you just notice it.  So for me I wanted to capture something different from this city... hence a focus on some of the buildings.

This one is beautiful as a large print.  The colour and form of the lines engage me, and then I notice that I can see inside the offices and accommodation.  A red folder on the window sill, a buch of post-it notes on the wall.  Enjoy the image.

In the cool of the night

A new image from the architectually inspired gallery from the website.  Now its a little tricky that whilst the title is suggestive that the image was shot at night, well, it wasn't.  The cool tones and feeling remind me of a summers night on a full moon.  Enjoy.
