Geometry Of Parking


Just walking west on Walnut, almost to Broadway. There is a lot of rhythm and energy in the scene, IMHO, even something a little Cubist.

Thar Be Monsters

Arch Garage Demolition 2015-03-22 2

Quick note. Mrs. C and I were out late last night (by our standards) hearing historian David McCullough at the St. Louis Speakers Series.

I've mentioned somewhere that the dumbest part of the Arch grounds renovation is the removal of its only parking garage. The design wizards think it is okay that the only other parking is across the highway in downtown proper. It's all a longer walk and more expensive than the one on the grounds. Now people with handicaps will have to cross city streets, which they didn't before. There will be no more path to the Arch entrance that is shaded on our blistering summer days.

This brute from Jurassic Park and its friends are doing the dirty work. More rant soon.

A Final Note From New York

.
Parking In NYC

$650 a month to park your car! $800 if you own a Mercedes or a big Ford Excursion! $250 a month to park your bicycle!

Yes, the joys of living in the Big Apple. This was found in a garage in the West Village, near where the family dined last weekend. As the saying goes, if you have to ask you can't afford it.

Back to The Lou tomorrow, probably. Sorry for the small number of comments yesterday. I had to work pretty late.

The Geometry Of Parking

Parking


I've been taking shots around downtown this weekend with the intention of converting them to B&W. This is just out the back door of my office building looking east. There is a light rail station just behind where I was standing but in St. Louis, like most of America, the car is king.

Upper Deck

The view straight down from my office window to the top level of a big garage, about 18 floors down.

WHAT BLOGS I'M RECOMMENDING FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS: Strobist, the bottomless font of knowledge for those of us who use small flashes rather than studio lights - more possibilities than you ever imagined. They had a feature a couple of days ago about Drew Gardner, a photographer of enormous creativity, humor and technical skill. He's started a blog, Photography - The Dark Art. Check out his professional web site, too. You will enjoy it. I met Gardner a few summers back at the Maine Photography Workshops and have enjoyed his work ever since.

TOMORROW: patterns on the wall.
