concrete beauty

Never really knew how hard concrete is to photograph. It is so porous and holey, I feel like I can never get it to be a clear shot. You can really see city dirt on windows and concrete. Yuck.
It was a windy day in the city and of course hand held, as I twist and turn to see what angle looks best.
Happy Day Ya All.
If you think foxes don't belong in the city, just remember we destroyed their habitat to build our own.
A local paper In Milwaukee recently did an interview with me, if you are interested in reading it here is the link:

Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, it is greatly appreciated! <3
The famous South Lawn underground car park at the University of Melbourne. This car park was used in the filming of Mad Max.
Built in 1971/72, this car park has aged as gracefully as myself. The design of the car park includes drainage from the ground above through the parabolic columns. Unique and controversial at the time.
I've visited here before but this time without my camera - had to use my phone, which forced me to think carefully about composition and lighting.
In the 1970s cities in Germany fell for the credo "concrete is good for you". In my hometown, much of the historically grown was sacrificed for efficiency, and with it the soul many a place once had. Here's my attempt to make it at least look interesting...
Let me breath you in and breath the words in your mouth
Inside your shivering, the silence shouts so loud
I just want to, I just want to stay around
And while my heart beats,
I promise I won't let you down
If I'm somewhere else it doesn't mean that I don't see
That you don't trust yourself,
That's why you don't trust me
It makes me crazy,
When you're crazy, you don't speak
You think you know me,
But what you know is just skin deep
If you keep building these walls,
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all, until the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start,
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all,
Until the concrete angel falls www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFz10R529g&ab_channel=Gareth...
"Solitude concrète & concrétisation de la solitude : une méta-analyse des carrés urbains déserts"
...Cela ferait un bon article de sciences de l'urbanisme, non ? :-))
Another shot of the basement car park at the University of Melbourne. It is an unusual design, quite contemporary at the time, both in terms of aesthetic as well as design. The car park was used in the filming of Mad Max.
The large (up to 2.5 metres in diameter) sandstone boulders at Red Rock Coulee are concretions - formed undersea, in this case the shallow "Bearpaw Sea" that covered much of the North American interior when the dinosaurs still roamed. Eighty million years old, give or take, they now sit on the Alberta prairie like gigantic, misshapen cow pies.
I wondered what I could do with a fish eye lens here, so when the sun emerged from a cloud bank very late in the evening, I got out the Rokinon 8mm. Keeping the camera level produces a straight horizon; any tilt and there is a pronounced curve. The limitation lies in its extraordinary 180° field of view: if I shifted to the right, the sun would be in my frame; to the left and I have to deal with my own shadow. And the photo op turned out to be brief; I had time for half a dozen shots and then the light faded.

Concrete jungle is the perfect place for those two insane asshat clowns that embarrassed us again in the "debate" last night.
The Gardens at Trump Tower, NY. Classic example of revisiting a picture with some new editing tricks. Tried highlighting reflections and the trees where light is present

I am concrete, I am solid
I am as I appear to be
I am your mirror
I am the aged exterior
I try, never quite right
a head full of sores and denials
I try, one last goodbye
a house coming down
carry, I pull, the weight of our world
where we were, the vacant role
play acting a part of a whole
the missing moments, being torn
but I am concrete, I am
hanging on by a thread
the years show, cracked and weathered
all the pieces, held together
I am, I am concrete
I, I am what you need
all that you wished I'd me
and what I could have been
