The Metro, 2626 Broadway, opened in 1933 as the Midtown, part of Ochs circuit of theatres.
Motion Picture Herald, October, 21, 1933:
"The auditorium as seen from the stadium."
"The Midtown is of the stadium type, with the 590 seats..."
The theatre has been vacant for seventeen years with its art deco interior demolished in 2006 to prepare the space for possible retail use.
Mark D. Levin, Manhattan Borough President, Twitter, March 21, 2022:
"The Metro, an art deco gem on Broadway & 99th St, is set to reopen as a boutique multi-screen movie theater."

On 7 October 2018 we opened the doors of ESTEC, our technical heart in the Netherlands, and welcomed more than 7600 people on a day full of activities including meet-and-greet with astronauts, tours around our test rooms, learning about the science in science fiction, and about the activities ESA does in all its establishments around Europe and beyond.

There are elements of this shot that I really liked, so I decided to get a bit creative with those things here. I haven't quite found my voice with portraiture yet, so this is really me trying to find that. Hope you guys like it.
Não basta abrir a janela
Não basta abrir a janela
Para ver os campos e o rio.
Não é bastante não ser cego
Para ver as árvores e as flores.
É preciso também não ter filosofia nenhuma.
Com filosofia não há árvores: há ideias apenas.
Há só cada um de nós, como uma cave.
Há só uma janela fechada, e todo o mundo lá fora;
E um sonho do que se poderia ver se a janela se abrisse,
Que nunca é o que se vê quando se abre a janela.

I have to admit I faked this photo. I was tired of white storm skies so I gave this sign a blue sky background.

I was out a few nights ago with a family member (also a photographer) doing some shooting at Hamilton, Ontario’s industrial waterfront at Pier 9, on Burlington Bay. This is one of the tugboats used to guide lake ships in the Burlington Bay industrial waterfront area but mostly for moving barges loaded with equipment and supplies to and from the Atlantic coast via the St Lawrence Seaway. The tug Jerry C shown here was being started up by its crew during the evening shoot period and it was the first time I have seen it with the interior lighting on. To manage the extreme lighting range, three frames were used to capture detail in various reas and then combined in post-processing to get this result. - JW

Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24mm lense set to 12mm, ISO100, Auto WB, Manual exposure, three frames with base for overall at/5.6, 25 sec, another at 4 sec at f 7.1. for the cabin interior and a third one at 1/25 at f/7.1 for use in getting s bit of lamp frame detail in the very brightest areas. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee from Nikon RAW/NEF source file: scale image up to 9000x6000, adjust exposure to about 1 stop brighter than as-shot, enable shadows-highlights and significantly boost highlight recovery to handle lamp areas and also boost shadow recovery to bring out hull details in tugboat, slightly boost contrast in L-A-B mode, enable highlights-shadows and significantly recover highlight details, slightly increase vibrance, enable sharpening, enable noise reduction, save, and repeat for the other two frames. PP in free Open Source GIMP: open the three frames as layers with the overall one on top , the cabin interior frame in the middle and the lamp frame on the bottom, adjust the tone curve to optimize the look of the overall frame by pulling down the mid-tones to darken it overall somewhat, reduce the blue channel saturation to tone down the blue hull which came out a bit too blue due to the CREE LED lamp’s used to light paint the hull being a bit on the blue side, slightly increase contrast, all disregarding the impact on the cabin interior or the lamp housing areas, then on the cabin interior/middle layer adjust the tone curve to get a good looking cabin tonality and use a large soft-edged eraser tool to remove the overall frame areas corresponding to the cabin and side door areas revealing a better interior, create new working layer from visible result, on the lamp housing/bottom layer, adjust the tonality of the frame to just get detail of the lamp housing frame with a surrounding brightness balanced to the white cabin exterior wall, use a large soft-edged eraser tool to remove the lamp areas from the top/overall working copy layer to reveal the better lamp centre detail from the adjusted lamp layer, create new working layer from visible result, fine tune adjust the working layer to get a good overall ‘look’, sharpen, save, scale to 6000x4000, sharpen slightly, ad fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, save, scale image to 1800 wide for posting , sharpen, save.
This is a list of people I promised to customize for before closing indefinitely. I closed for several reasons, but most importantly because I'm very slow at carving and my full time job didn't allow me to work as fast as I wanted.
However as it turns out, I'll be unemployed for 6 weeks, starting last week of November.
If you're one of the people in this list, please let me know whether or not you're up to it for that period of time.
I'll try to include 15 people, so I'll open slots in mid November to fill in. The price will be $280 per slot. I'll keep you posted.
2017-01-15: One of the photos taken the other day when I visited the Milwaukee County Zoo. Stella took a big, large yawn as shown here. I was hoping to make a trip down to see the bald eagles on the Mississippi this weekend but ended fighting a bug that has knocked me out the last couple of days.
Nikkor 70-200mm @ 135mm, 1/125s, f/3.5, ISO 3200.

In late August 2024 an invite-only open day was held at Xelabus of Eastleigh to mark the opening of their new maintenance facility in Barton Park. The new facility was officially opened by Fred Dinenage of TV fame (ITV Southern and How!) and were treated to a building tour and shown examples of their fleet, some of which were brand new.
