Yankee Stadium under construction (digital)© Brian Rose Went up to the Bronx to scout a building for an upcoming photo shoot. The 4 train goes up by Yankee Stadium, and I got out and did a couple of snapshots of the nearly completed new stadium. The old edifice still stands across the street, but it […]

Astor Place (digital)© Brian Rose The photograph above shows how bikes tend to be parked in New York. Usually, the only option is a signpost or light pole. Every now and then, one finds the repeating U shape rack as seen to the left. Not always with three bikes, one of them upside down. Having […]

Joel Sternfeld exhibition at Luhring Augustine, New York (digital) © Brian Rose A month ago I took in Joel Sternfeld’s exhibit at Luhring Augustine in Chelsea.

Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick’s Cathedral (4×5 film)© Brian RoseThe architectural photography I do tends often to be corporate interiors, very often in Midtown Manhattan. Most of the time I shoot after hours when the office workers have gone home. If possible I get a couple of shots just before sundown, when the light turns […]

Currently, at Aperture Gallery in Chelsea, is another exhibition dealing with 1968–Josef Koudelka’s photographs of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, which brought to a […]

Brendan, my son, on Bedford Avenue (digital) I’m back from a week upstate, and will resume lengthier posts shortly. Update: Jenny did the poster.

Mohonk Mountain House (digital) A few days away from the city, we are at the Mohonk Mountain House near New Paltz, New York, up the Hudson River. This is the classic view of the historic lake and hotel, a Catskill retreat that dates back more than a hundred years. It was cool and foggy this […]

Paul Fusco, RFK funeral train, 1968 I was 14 years old in 1968, undoubtedly the most tumultuous year since World War II–at least in the western world.

East 14th Street Without comment. I’ve been busy lately, but have several posts coming up. Saturday I visited three exhibits in Chelsea: Joel Sternfeld, Josef Koudelka, and Paul Fusco. The latter two deal with tragic and tumultuous events in 1968. Sternfeld’s work is new and majestic. I’ll write soon about all of these.
