Fire at Westport Presbyterian Church Thursday Night
I got word that a church I’d taken a couple street pics of before was on fire Thursday evening so I went to get a few shots. 12/29/2011. And one shot of the church I took in early 2009:
West Edge Project Demolition on Christmas Eve
On the afternoon of Christmas Eve I snapped up some more deconstruction/demolition progress shots of the West Edge project on the Plaza. Demolition progress photos on the ill-fated West Edge project by architect Moshe Safdie, who noted he’s had projects fail to make it to the construction phase, but until now never one that got [...]
KC Plaza Lights 2011
A friend met up with me for Plaza shots on Friday – first time this season I’ve done shots of the Plaza lit up for Christmas. I’m going to try for a few extra before they turn them off in mid-January.
“Ferment” Tree Sculpture by Roxy Paine at the Nelson Atkins
Because I still get a fairly noticeable amount of traffic to this one post back in June of shots of the Ferment stainless steel tree sculpture by Roxy Paine on the grounds of the Nelson Atkins Museum, I decided to go back and get more and do a web traffic experiment. Sunset on 12/22/2011. Parting shot [...]
Window Washing at the Kauffman Center
On Tuesday 12/20 I had the chance to get some shots at the Kauffman Center of some interior window washing in the Brandmeyer Great Hall. I ended up using four out of the five lenses in my backpack for this post. I’d parked along Broadway so as I was leaving I threw on the fisheye [...]
Downtown Kansas City Skyline in December
Shots I took Saturday evening from an obscure hilltop near 20th and Troost looking toward the KCMO skyline using my telephoto lens, which I’ve kind of neglected using lately. 12/17/11.
The Kansas City Board of Trade in December
I have long maintained an employ at the Kansas City Board of Trade. Here are a few shots of the wheat futures pit during a couple of closing sessions last week. The KCBT is the world’s largest market for the Hard Red Winter Wheat grown in this region of the country, with futures and options [...]
Manhattan Street Scenes Part Two
Second round of pictures from the streets of Lower Manhattan, NYC on November 11, 2011.
Russian Elections Protest in Kansas City
I met up with a few members of the KC-area Russian community at Mill Creek Park on the Plaza Saturday afternoon to get a couple pics at a small protest of the allegedly fraudulent elections recently held back in Russia. Large protests have happened in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Saturday Dec. 10, 2011.
Inside Kansas City Above-Street Skywalks Pt. 2 of 2
Second round of these shots from last Saturday afternoon. The first few are from Crown Center above Grand Avenue and some at the end are from the 10th and Wyandotte skywalk between the hotels.
Manhattan Street Scenes Part One of Two
This is my first part of two sets of Manhattan street scenes from November, also to go along with my 2nd KC Skywalk post Thursday, more NY street scenes Friday, and sometime the posting of the rest of my One World Trade Center construction shots that I took from the ground. The aerials posted to [...]
Inside Kansas City Above-Street Skywalks Pt. 1 of 2
I’ve done skywalks from the inside before but Saturday was so nice and dreary and wet that I wanted to do an impromptu round again inside them, all with my fisheye lens. I took so many for the lulz that this post consists of along Pershing and Main while another coming later in the week [...]
Kauffman Center Exterior & Interior
For the lulz I took a round of snaps Friday afternoon at the Kauffman Center with only my fisheye lens, hoping to promulgate new things both weird and strange. Hopefully I succeeded if even just a little.
Around Kansas City’s East Side with MO 41st Dist. Rep Brandon Ellington
On Thursday afternoon I met up with Brandon Ellington, newly elected Missouri State House Representative for the 41st District which includes the East Side of Kansas City Missouri. It has some boundary overlap with the KCMO Third City Council District. We rode around and did a photo tour of some of the blighted areas. In [...]
West Plaza Black & White at Night
I was coming back from a local bar on foot and saw some stuff I figured I’d try getting with the ISO cranked to 4000 and the aperture wide to 3.5 or so – still having to hold still. I stopped in and grabbed my camera and put on its wide angle lens. For the [...]
