Once 13th Floor Sunset

I love the moment, about 20 minutes after sunset, when the brightness of the street lights begins to compete with the rapidly fading sky.

Palermo 10th Floor Sunset

I'm currently working on a project photographing views from contrafrente apartments. I'm interested in the jumble of buildings present in the center of the blocks [known as pulmones de manzana. If you have a view like this or know someone who does, please contact me at thobbs@gmail.com






For the project I'm using my large format camera. The photos I post here are my test shots on my digital camera.

Bicentenario - Banderas Argentinas

Today Argentina celebrates its bicentennial. In the weeks leading up to today's events, many people have hung the nation's flag from their balconies. A selection:

Mataderos & Liniers Façades

Following up on the previous post, here are more shots from the same afternoon, focusing on façades. I realize the quantity is excessive but I sort of feel that's what digital photography and the web is about.

Mataderos & Liniers Ochavas

A few Sundays ago I was walking along Avenida Emilio Castro which divides Mataderos and Liniers. It's a diagonal avenue that creates a lot of interesting corners. These pictures are from the surrounding side streets. I was having one of those moments where everything was good. This can be a little dangerous as a photographer because maybe it means I've lost my criteria for judging things, or that I need to refine it. Fortunately my digital camera doesn't impose the same costs that my film camera does. I almost felt like those Google Street View vehicles, indiscriminately photographing everything that comes across their path. I guess I still have a niche until they send those vehicles down here.

Colegiales Train Yard

There's a pedestrian overpass the crosses the train yards of the Linea Mitre near the stop in Colegiales. Here are a few views from the bridge.






Even ugly towers from the 1970s look great at sunset.
