Twin Towers — © Brian Rose I’ve put a lot more work into WTC, adding four new images and replacing a digital image with one from 4×5 film. One image is out. I’ve fine tuned the text and added a conclusion that goes opposite a 1978 image of the Twin Towers reflected in a pool […]

Smith Street, Brooklyn (4×5 film) — © Brian Rose I finally got the film back from the subway trip to Smith Street in the area near the Gowanus Canal. The image in WTC was from my small digital camera–the one above is from a 4×5 negative. Several pictures I took there are usable, but I […]

So these are scans of 4×5 film. Despite difficult snowy conditions, and a 30 second exposure […]

Lexington Avenue and 103rd Street — © Brian Rose A few photos taken while walking back to the subway after visiting with Sean Corcoran, the photography curator at the Museum of the City of New York. I was at the museum to show him my WTC book and discuss with him publishing and exhibition possibilities. […]

The Bowery — © Brian Rose A reflective moment in the morning.

We are awash in gun imagery from Sarah Palin’s congressional crosshairs to the latest Hollywood movie Mechanic. The slogan along the top reads: Someone has to fix the problems. ENOUGH. *** While I was talking this photograph an MTA employee walked by and in a stern voice said “You can’t take pictures down here!” I […]

Vesey Street — © Brian Rose I went back to the WTC site yesterday and spent much of the day there–mostly in three spots. It was a cold cloudy day with snow occasionally falling. Conditions like that make using the view camera difficult, but it was not so extreme as to be unmanageable. I started […]

West Street — © Brian Rose I went downtown this afternoon just after a light snowfall. It was cold, but tolerable and not overly windy. I did several shots with the view camera, one similar to the image above. 1 WTC is now over 50 floors up–almost as high as the adjacent 7 WTC. Visually […]

Lower Manhattan Skyline, 1982 (4×5 film) — © Brian Rose and Ed Fausty This is lower Manhattan at its most heroic and romantic seen from the upper floor of a building in Brooklyn Heights. Since 1982, several bulky buildings have blocked up the foreground and obscured the thin spires of the early 20th century–and of […]

The Shawangunk Ridge from Skytop — © Brian Rose Here are a few more photographs of the Mohonk Preserve just west of New Paltz, New York about two hours north of New York City. It’s amazing that such a landscape exists so close to one of world’s largest cities. Stay at the Mohonk Mountain House […]

Mohonk Preserve, New Paltz, New York — © Brian Rose I spent the New Year’s weekend Upstate with Renée and Brendan. We hiked and did a little cross country skiing. I began reading Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann. This morning the snowy ground and warm temperatures created a swirling fog that plunged […]
