Oculus Shadows

During our last visit to Manhattan, we visited the Oculus.  What an amazing spot!  It is basically a subway station, but that description doesn’t do it justice.  This is an architectural marvel on the inside and out.  It is so modern and all white throughout.  It’s big from the outside, but once you go inside…wow!!  There are three floors under street level with all kinds of cool stores and access to the subway platforms.  Just wonderful.

We explored the inside and the outside (I took a ton of photos of course).  I captured some traditional perspectives, but also some unique angles/composition like this photo.  I loved how the shadows fell across the sidewalk and street.

Fulton Street Subway Station

Tonight’s blog post is from the Fulton Street Subway Station in lower Manhattan.  I’m not really which Manhattan neighborhood this is located within, since there are so many of them and I haven’t found a good source on where one neighborhood stops and another starts…. 

This subway station is amazing.  The architecture of this structure is great inside and outside.  Unfortunately, when I was there, photographing the outside wasn’t possible due to construction vehicles parked right in front of it.

Pioneer Square Station

MJ is out of town for very long business trip and I miss her dearly.  I can’t wait for her to get home next week and in the mean time, I’ll just keep missing her.

Tonight’s photo is from the Pioneer Square Station in downtown Seattle.  I took this last late last year when I was out there for work.  I had a few days to photograph the city and I made good use of my time.  I took this picture at around midnight.  The only people in the station were the police, the homeless and I.

Red Line

Here is a tone mapped photo (HDR image created with one exposure) I took at the US Steel Building subway station in downtown Pittsburgh.  I took this photo last week while on a photo walk with Dave and Brad.  Honestly, I had a great time and we walked around for a few hours, but I didn’t take a bunch of photos.  I don’t really know why….normally I take a ton.  I just wasn’t feeling it.  Anyway, I captured this scene and liked it.  So I’m sharing it with you.

By the way, the passengers waiting to get on the subway and getting off gave us a bunch of weird looks.  Clearly, they are not used to seeing photographers there.  I just stared back at them.
