Roosevelt Island

Picture
A composited composition started in NYC near the Roosevelt Island tram.
As usual, click images to see larger.

Picture
On the way to the Tram to Roosevelt Island I spotted this metal artist doing his thing. When I stuck my head in, I was invited to come in and say hello. This very talented artist is named Valentin.

Picture
Valentin again this time taken from the ground level. He is making an ornate door. Another piece he had made was a small table made of metal with cloth rippled and pleated around the edge...except the cloth was metal he formed to look like fabric...quite amazing and beautiful.

NYC Artist's quarters with oil painting on table as seen.

This Manhattan building was photographed from the Roosevelt Island Tram. It's a fun ride with great views, but it doesn't last very long.

Picture
Fisherman leveraging his potential.

Many folk may not like pigeons, but they do make some people happy. Besides, if you had no toilet and were winged, you would probably poop everywhere too.

Picture
Two new friends I met along the way.

Picture
This Roosevelt Island drinking fountain is a pretty cool structure.

Isn't togetherness great. Now let's see them drink.

Picture
Even an aging flower can have charm and beauty.

Picture
The Pepsi sign in Queens as seen from Roosevelt Island. It's not Warhol, it's Willhol. (Sorry to be cryptic, but it is a play on my name, William.)

Picture
Artsygraphs here I come. I took this photo of a metal rusty pillar, and decided to use Photoshop to create this artwork to my liking. I possibly should post the original photo for reference..

Picture
Fellow photographer lending a hand here. What's his name you ask. Sorry, but I am not one to Tsk and tell. :-}

Picture
The little flowers did the trick and made my shutter click.

Picture
This tree on Roosevelt Island had great esthetic appeal re composition, texture, and color. Do you like nature?

Picture
Some fellow photographers doing the see, hear, and speak no evil thing (not in that order however).

Here are a few photos just added to the "Museum Days" portfolio in Gallery 1.
As usual, click to enlarge images.
Picture
Reflect on your sole.

Picture
This exhibit caught some attention. It is not hard to see why. Maybe I will head over to the flower shop... ya think?

Picture
A Brooklyn Museum visitor enjoying the art.

Picture
I took my liberties in Photoshop to create this image. The mirror and girl are real, their graphic portrayal has been given new life.


Picture
The reflection of the gentle sculpture coming off of the glass of the picture behind it, combined with a less than gentle picture composition, intrigued me. Click to enlarge for a clearer view

Picture
I've never been quite that hungry.

Picture
A very old map.

Picture
I appreciate the compositional synergies between the art in the background and foreground in this photo.


Picture
"Men in / on the Mirror"
If you were in the Brooklyn Museum recently, you would probably understand what is going on in this picture.
Ok I'll give it up... the man on the right is pasted onto the mirror... part of an exhibit. The reflection of the man in the green shirt was changed by me to black and white (mostly.. it needed to be matched in tone and slightly in hue to the man on the right). Well, you asked for it!

Picture

This delightful lady enjoyed my showing her this digital photo just taken of her as she was appreciating this wonderful artwork.
