Three major landmarks in this selection of icosacomposites. While I was on the prowl, I couldn’t turn down the chance to deconstruct the conspicuous consumption of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, especially the day after Christmas. And it didn’t disappoint. Look for high-end car wheels, fashion dress patterns and lots of shopping bags milling into

Two icosacomposites from LA, hot off the render queue. The first is not terribly recognizable, but it’s an interesting location for me, personally: the building at Hollywood and Cahuenga (the intersection is known as “Raymond Chandler Square”) is suspected to be the model Chandler had in mind for Phillip Marlowe’s office. I also liked the Pacific

When you’re not rendering twenty layers of transparent footage things go quite a bit faster. Here’s the front of the turbine in close-up: And the darker-skies version of the turbine in the landscape (which
Early this morning I went out to shoot some time-lapse videos of a wind turbine I really hadn’t explored up-close, the 1.8 MW Vestas at the MWRA pumping station in Everett. It has been a while! Almost nine months since I last shot this turbine, and almost two years since I shot the Northwind 100
Lovely morning for a random walk in chalk, so I decided the Nave Gallery Annex needed one. Montage will be coming in a few days, but I do have some overview shots.
This time I managed to get this one processed quickly. Click to embiggen.
We’re starting to get a nice symmetry to the skygrid now. Moving away from the solstice, the daylight hours are continuing to contract. Click to embiggen:
Next round of skygrid strips, a little delayed because I was working on processing the New York icosacomposites. Click to embiggen: Looks like I chose my time brackets pretty well, the light and darks are decently centered, and there’s a good border of black around the whole thing.
Having finished up the footage in Union Square, I had an hour and a half to shoot another composite. Some block northwest of Union Square is an architectural icon, the Flatiron Building. One of my favorite images by Paul Steichen is of this building: So it was a no-brainer for me to create my own
