On Sunday for a couple hours I gathered some intersection and traffic signal photos as preliminary work for scouting locations and finding types of compositions that a new client is looking for. They design self-optimizing traffic lights and we’re working on producing some promotional and marketing material. These photos are trying to emphasize green traffic […]
Last week I took advantage of parts of the fencing around the burned out Horace Mann School at 39th & Euclid/Garfield having been removed, so I went trespassing for photos. It turned out I was the only one alive on-site at the time. It was closed many years ago, and caught fire several months ago. […]
Sunday night Memorial Day Weekend symphony concert at Union Station, Kansas City, Missouri. This was the tenth annual, and my sixth consecutive year getting shots if I’m counting correctly. Three lenses used in this post, wide-angle, telephoto, and fisheye. CLICK HERE for last year’s 2011 Celebration At The Station photo post.
Bradley Manning Rally in Kansas City – this article can give you a background of this issue if you’re unfamiliar with Bradley Manning, the Army Private in Baghdad who leaked classified files to Wikileaks. He then spent about two years in confinement with no charges, and is currently awaiting court martial.
18th and Holmes is a fairly unassuming and non-descript intersection but after stopping and parking there I thought it worked out pretty well. Near the end I climbed to a second-floor exit to get some elevated shots. Three lenses used for this post. Also, I need to update the aesthetics and presentation of this blog, […]
Shots I took Wednesday and Thursday nights – first of some streetscape improvements between 39th and 43rd and Main, Kansas City MO. Then some shots taken from the community garden at 18th and Broadway on Thursday evening. Last one is a telephoto shot taken from the garden looking towards some lofts in the Crossroads District […]
Because I get a noticeable enough amount of incoming search traffic for the Kauffman Center and photos of it, I decided it would be a good idea to make a new website dedicated to my shots I’ve compiled over the past three years of the building, from interior and exterior to construction and completion phases. […]
Last week I grabbed some new Kauffman Center shots – some from standing in different locations on the site than I have before – and duplicating some past shots but under sunset lighting conditions also, such as the front facing fisheye shots highlighting the steel cabling holding up the “glass curtain” on the south side […]
A large old house around 34th and Southwest Trafficway was just demolished this past week. These shots were taken on Tuesday on the grounds of the shuttered Norman School (one of the KCMO school district’s closed schools). I drove by again on Thursday and saw it looked like the whole site had been cleared.
Last Saturday I went downtown to collect some potential stock images for future sale with downtown all busy, although I kind of failed at capturing anything related to the Big 12 tournament going on as everyone was inside the Sprint Center during the MU-Baylor game while I was there . I haven’t posted in a […]
Another protest this week on Sunday was held near Nichols Fountain on the Plaza against Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad and his government. People from the mideast living in Kansas City have done a good job of holding solidarity protests alongside the overthrow of mid-eastern dictators over the past year. 2-26-12
This Saturday 1-28-2012 a small protest took place at 39th and Southwest Trafficway in Kansas City MO. A recent study came out by the Kansas City Police Department indicating that the cameras do nothing for traffic safety except perhaps making it even worse at the intersections where they are installed. Tracy Ward, a local activist […]
