504-506 Broome St. Ancient.


Union Square West. A hilarious jumble gets A+ for accidental design. These lots once held town houses. Their dainty footprints have been preserved, so the buildings have a delicate scale regardless of their height. One is a miniature skyscraper. Scale-obsessed NIMBYs take note: you need to object to a building’s footprint, not its height.

Većinom se radi o "snapshotovima", al uzmimo u obzir da je u ono vrijeme fotografija bila pojam, ipak i običan snapshot izaziva divljenje.
Ove fotografije su zadivljujuće unatoč atmosferi koju ostavljaju.

Ajd ponovo pročitaj što si napisao.
Nije velika mudrost stati na ćošak i ufotkat ulicu ili ufotkat istu sa zgrade.
Da ti pojasnim, sa tehničke strane nisu zahtjevne, ali su posebne jer imaju tu starinu.

Pokusavam shvatit sto zelis reci. I ne uspijevam.
Dakle, ne radi se tu o umjetnickoj fotografiji, vec dokumentarnoj i pricati o tehnickoj zahtjevnosti mi je totalno glupo.
Fotke su odlicne jer prenose atmosferu nekog proslog vremena. Gledajuci neke sam skoro osjetio miris ili zvuk, a to znaci da su dobre...
