This tilt-shifted time-lapse video, titled The Sandpit was created by Sam O’Hare is interesting and unique in its breadth if not use of the format. From landscapes to intersections, this is New York.

I spent some time looking through old pictures taken during the last couple years and I came upon these two, which I found to be overlooked.

This one was taken looking North, towards Stamford:

Another photo, almost a year earlier, faces South, towards the harbor:

A recent addition:

A new photo in the Garage series. this one comes from an Atlanta Hospital Parking Garage.

I’ve been working more lately on the parking garage series and I think its starting to develop. The more I walk around these things I am increasingly amused and appalled by the amount of concrete dedicated to the Fuck You School of Architecture.

I also can’t help but think how pervasive the need find a home for your car is when you go anywhere. Very often the substance of your night/day may be directed by the inability to park, or the need to walk long distances. It’s kind of strange, mostly annoying and sometimes interesting. Here are a couple new samples of what makes them intriguing to me.

After having to go to this place to leave your car, you are commanded, “This Way Only!”

Ho! Ho! We have options here. A chance to feel the benefits of individualism is finally at hand.

Perhaps we are faced with the need to continue up to the dreaded higher levels.

One more from nearby:

I spent the last few days in the Virgin Islands, a very nice little respite, and though I only took a few photos, I got a couple here that I happened to like.

Above the harbor:

Red Hook at Night:

From along the harbor’s edge:

Took these the other day while running some errands. It’s funny sometimes when you stop in just the right place.
