Meatpacking District image, Laumont Photographics, Long Island City — © Brian Rose It’s always great to see prints like these go out the door. I was there to place a signature label on the mounted print. They cut a window in the backing board to provide access to the signature. Signature window in backing board […]

New York/The Guardian

The Arcaid architecture photography award gets a lot of media attention — showing the finalists — not just the winner, which will be chosen in November. Many of the websites that do features are architecturally oriented, but some general news sites take an interest as well. The Guardian did a really nice presentation the other […]

Gansevoort and Washington Street — Photo by Justin Brooks (Curbed) Was out with my view camera in the Meatpacking District shooting a video for Curbed, the blog on urban life and architecture. The completed video, which will be about the transformation of the neighborhood and my project photographing it, will only be a few minutes […]

New York/Atlantic City

Atlantic City (4×5 film) — © Brian Rose As I set up the composition above with its various interlocking pieces, I noticed that the LED sign at right center, just under the royal crest of Trumplandia, the former Trump Plaza, changed ads every 30 seconds or so. I made several pictures — one with my […]

New York/WTC

Tribute in Light, Brooklyn Bridge Park, 2013 — © Brian Rose Mike Lupica in the Daily News: On the eve of another anniversary of Sept. 11, terror from the sky created by madmen, it is always worth remembering that ever since that day 16 years ago, we have worried about somebody coming for us again, […]

New York/Miami Beach

Miami Beach, 1982 (4×5 negative) — © Brian Rose Back when I took this picture, Miami Beach was not the place it is now. The art deco hotels were shabby and low income elderly slumped on the porches and stoops along Ocean Drive. I wish I had taken pictures of the place back then, but […]

New York/Along the High Line

520 West 28th Street — © Brian Rose It’s been a while since I last walked the High Line on Manhattan’s west side, an overly popular attraction that is often uncomfortably thronged with tourists. A rainy morning followed by cloudy skies dampened the mob mentality enough to make the walkway quite tolerable. It looked incredibly […]

New York/Owls Head, Maine

Owls Head, Maine — © Brian Rose My son, Brendan, and my wife, Renee. We spent a week in Maine — beautiful weather except the last day when rain moved in. Brendan is now off to college for the first time — SUNY Purchase. Not so far away from NYC, but it feels like a […]

Jefferson Davis gravesite, Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Virginia — © Brian Rose Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond is the final resting place of Jefferson Davis the president of the Confederacy. His statue is visited regularly, and Confederate flags are often placed around the monument. Elsewhere in the cemetery, John Tyler, the 10th president of the United States, […]

New York/Brooklyn

Abraham Lincoln, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, New York — © Brian Rose The principles of JEFFERSON are the definitions and axioms of free society. And yet they are denied and evaded, with no small show of success. One dashingly calls them “glittering generalities.” Another bluntly styles them “self-evident lies.” And others insidiously argue that they apply […]

New York/Atlantic City

Trump Plaza wall — © Brian Rose I returned to Atlantic City to continue working on my project — Atlantic City: In the Wake of Destruction Left by Donald Trump. I intended to spend part of my time on the Boardwalk, which in mid-August is filled with people and activity. But I ended up mostly […]
