the beacon

This is the Swiss Hospital in Buenos Aires. It is such a cool building. It glows red on the top floors and there is a big cutout waiting area where you can see people standing inside. Sometime I'll go back with my tripod and shoot a closer photo of that part. But I like how it just stands out--so appropriate, because it's a hospital. If you're bleeding out, you can just point to the beacon and say, "Take...me...there..." Or, I guess, "Llevame alla!" (Thanks Ricky...I can't believe I dont't know how to say that.)

The Staten Island Farm Colony

The Staten Island Farm Colony has been one of my favorite shoots for my AbandonedNYC project. Here's a sampling of photos, one in the snow at sunrise, and one not in the snow, at sunset. It's pretty easy to get to, in the sense that you don't have to worry about climbing anything crazy, or getting chased by cops. Sunrise shoots are a big commitment though. I discovered that the Staten Island ferry at 5 a.m. is a mini-ferry.

Here's a map if you want to get there yourself.
