Another shot from the archives, decided to finally process it. I was heavily inspired by P i c a 's photo Skyrocket. P i c a has an unbelievable eye and tremendous talent. I highly recommend you check out her work.

I posted Temple Study I about a month ago and even though it hit #1 on Explore, personally the image didn't excite me that much. For this one I chose a wider angle lens and shot at a more dramatic angle under a more directional, less diffuse light. This provided for a more dramatic, abstract result which I prefer.
If you are interested in making exhibition quality monochromatic prints, please check out my new article on printing with Piezography. It is on Joel Tjintjelaar's website www.bwvision.com, a great resource for learning about black & white photography. Thanks!

Me: Setting up camera and tripod on public sidewalk.
Homeland Security: pulls up in security vehicle... "Hey what are you doing? Taking pictures?"
Me: "Yep."
Homeland Security: Staring at me in silence
Me: "I don't know what that is but it sure looks really interesting."
Homeland Security: "That there is CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE!"
Me: Not really sure what to say... "OK then, just going to be taking some pictures."
Homeland Security: Watches from vehicle as I make my exposures then follows me back to my vehicle where he appears to be writing down my license plate number.
I shot this several times and was approached by security every time. I was told that photographing this was prohibited but that they couldn't do anything about it because I was on a public sidewalk. I am probably now on some terrorist watch list, hope it was worth it.
