Room With A View etc.

mad artist
As I am finally separating the "living room" work from the "street" work in the galleries, I can begin to post images that may make you uneasy for sale without driving too many people away.

This was a long time ago in Brooklyn (Manhattan on the other side). If I were to guess I'd say at least 10 years ago. It was in a garage that had been abandoned and put to another use.

This was shot with the Mamiya 6, which of all the medium format cameras I used was my favorite. I did carry it around with the 50mm lens for a pretty long time. The rollei TLR was / is a great camera but I usually used it with a tripod. The Mamiya 6 - very portable and quick to focus. Would I use one again? Not at this point, not without someone giving me a good MF film scanner.

Thanks for reminding me where it was - I forgot that it was Greenpoint. I have about six shots of this place but this is my favorite since you can clearly see Manhattan through the window.

This is one of those absolutely haunted spots. The two other guys I was with that day were quick to get out of there. I think we all felt that we had walked into an inner ring of Dante's hell.
