Hexcel, one of Gibson's favorites.


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I declare war on all icons and finalities, on all histories
that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful fears.
I know only moments, and lifetimes that are as moments,
and forms that appear with infinite strength, then "melt into air."
I am an architect, a constructor of worlds,
a sensualist who worships the flesh, the melody,
a silhouette against the darkening sky.

Jesus... could you be any more fucking awesome?

Print them big. Put them in a book, or a gallery. I could stare at some of those pics for days.

Nice photo of the Flatiron building.

I thought that's what it was, and Googled up some images to confirm, and then after counting windows, stones, etc. I just checked your file name....

That's her, the old tripartite prow. I like the response of the Meieresque new building.

And Jack, of course.

Superlatives fail, MOM. The hard-edged urban surface seldom so divinely commemorated.

Thank you.

Holy.
Fucken
Crap.

Top marks on all counts Mr. Oldman. Excellent work sir.

It looks as if a Blueshift may have wandered into your frame on a couple of those shots. Standard issue sidearm or a taser can prevent that from happening again.

For some reason this reminds me of Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergère

Either that or Nighthawks.

Amazing.

Do you keep your pics online anywhere? You have posted several that I love but can't find them in the archives here.

MOM,

Wow... breathtaking...

Just hope you have dozens of other "tropital vacations" and similar opportunities for presenting us with your photos.

Just hard to say which one I like best...
