Speaking of gorgeous, your work is incredible!

Thank you! I am grateful for clients that allow me to do projects like this. Most I cannot show but this one was published in Architectural Digest.

For this work project I collaged together Chinese landscape imagery (mainly Song dynasty) for a room sized tile mural based on the blue willow pattern. I placed every boat and tree and had a waterfall in the shower. We had a classically trained Chinese artist paint it and fired it to a soft blue.

That is my neighborhood and I take the B or C there. The northern part of Central Park is also nice (Harlem Meer, Conservatory Gardens). Further up is the overlooked Hispanic Society Museum and then, of course, the Cloisters. There is a lot to see way uptown! Let me know if you want to have tea.

Riverside Church is based very closely on Chartres. Also, St. John the Devine is blocks away. They were somewhat rival churches, both are fabulous.

Thanks Jimmy! First time in a while I had hauled out the D850, it has such dynamic range for a situation like this. I made only minimal edits. Quite something on a 4k monitor. Optics, man.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up on this! Love her work. (His also.)

I am due for a rewatch soon. Thanks for all the likes and reposts, Robynne!

Great blog from what I’ve read so far Matt. Will continue to check it out!

I like most architectural styles, but I’m designing in medieval mode now, and being in this place for a while is kinda perfect.

Thanks, Alina! It was a lot of fun working on a tripod again, working slow. A meditative process in a meditative space with noone around.

Early morning landscape in shades of blue. A wintry scene, framed by bare trees A view across frosted fields show a village with lights in the distance and distant forest.

Did some exploring along the coast today. Seems to be drier on the west side! #Photography #EastCoastKin

Woah, I really love these!

Dramatic.

I really love this one. It must be even more lovely full size.

Thanks so much for the likes and reposts, Annette! It has been good to get back into shooting here.
