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 […]
“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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting 2011 at Crown Center
The Mayor’s office was kind enough to allow me some up close access at the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting at Crown Center on Friday evening. R&B/Soul performer Janelle Monáe and Mayor of Kansas City Sly James were on stage and also mingling with the crowd before and after the lighting. Friday 11/25/11.
Novum Structures Subcontractor Shots @ The Kauffman Center
Novum Structures was one of my clients recently who subcontracted on the construction of the Kauffman Center For the Performing Arts. Novum commissioned shots of their work on the Kauffman Center’s glass and cabling structures on the roof and to the south end of the building. Kansas City, MO – September 2011.
West Plaza – Kansas City MO
Not far at all from where I live – and grew up too incidentally. I’ve visited four continents thus far but always after the return flight revert to a townie in the midtown area. My car from which you may have seen its interior shots is currently immobilized due to manual transmission/clutch indecisiveness and disagreeability. […]
Rally at Fort Leavenworth for Wikileaks Whistleblower Bradley Manning
There was a small rally/protest in Ft. Leavenworth adjacent to the detention facility where Bradley Manning, also known as the Wikileaks whistleblower is being held. Manning is an Army soldier arrested in May 2010 on suspicion of passing along classified material to Wikileaks. Wikipedia does a better job of explaining than I can… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Manning Photos […]
West Edge on Plaza Under Demolition
Fall-ish October shots from just off the Plaza that detail somewhat the West Edge project being deconstructed before it was even finished. Get your pictures now while you still can. Friday 10/28/2011. This weekend will be busy – there’s a protest/rally for the Wikileaks whistleblower Bradley Manning at Ft. Leavenworth on Saturday and an Occupy […]
Helzberg Hall @ The Kauffman Center Pics for GKD Metal Fabrics
As far as I know I’m finished shooting my work for some subcontractors on the Kauffman Center For the Performing Arts building. These are from a shoot Sunday night in Helzberg Hall – one of two performance halls at the Center. I took a number of shots for GKD Metal Fabrics, a company that installed […]
Commissioned Photos for ELP Lighting’s Work in the Kauffman Center
With the opening of the Kauffman Center last month I’ve been able to get to work putting together portfolio photography for some of the companies who subcontracted construction on the building who’ve become my photo clients. Most of my work is done at this point but I still have some to complete next week. In […]
Brandon Ellington Campaign for Missouri 41st District Rep
On Thursday evening I caught up with Brandon Ellington at a fundraiser for his campaign for Missouri 41st District State Representative. There’s a special election being held November 8. In addition to Brandon I’m performing some campaign photo work for another contender in the Nov 8 special election as well. Brandon is a community organizer […]
On top of the canopy at Kauffman Center’s Helzberg Hall
While shooting some portfolio pics for GKD Metal Fabrics, a subcontractor on the Kauffman Center building that installed some stainless steel in Helzberg Hall around the ceiling and pipe organ, I also had the chance to go up on top of the canopy hanging from the ceiling inside Helzberg Hall – accessible by a small […]
Kauffman Center Exterior With The Moon
Consecutive posts by coincidence of architect Moshe Safdie’s two buildings in Kansas City – yesterday’s West Edge post and these shots of the Kauffman Center’s northwest side. Last night while working on some photography for subcontractors on the Kauffman Center building I nabbed these shots with the moon while outside. I was able to get […]
Inside the Kauffman Center’s Brandmeyer Great Hall at Dusk
I’m performing some photo work for contractors on the construction of the Kauffman Center building, taking shots of their work for their company portfolios. Last night I was attempting to grab some evening/dusk pics of some of the light fixtures in the Brandmeyer Great Hall. I nabbed a few additional shots for the fun of […]

The Civic Dedication’s speakers included Mayor Sly James, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, Jane Chu, CEO of the Kauffman Center, Jan Marcason of the City Council’s 4th District, and Julia Irene Kauffman. Here are a few general […]
Photo Tip for TKC Commenters from 12th and Wyandotte
Lollygagging around this area the other afternoon… Protip to one or two dopes in the comments sections of my favorite Kansas City blogger Tony’s Kansas City that there’s no special “star filter” for when the sun shines like this, it’s shooting with a narrow aperture (this was at f/16). When it’s that narrow the lens aperture […]
