The residents there were so friendly and also proud of their staircase. They didn't mind strange photographers gaining access to grab a few images.
Here's a view of this staircase from the top: flic.kr/p/S7eHHz

Judge's comments : A peculiar entry.
It doesn't quite fit the subject. There's not enough light. It's just patches of red and green.
Judge's score : 12/20

Block 46C is the housing project located on Haveneiland Oost. It consists of houses, parking spaces and a (public) square. The project has been rated as the best Amsterdam housing project of 2012. Here, Korth Tielens Architects demonstrate convincingly how you can achieve a lot of quality with simple means.
The fences around the entire building are shapes in wave. According to the architect is symbolizes the breeze over IJburg. VMG produced, supplied and installed approx. 878m wave fences for the galleries and the balconies
Technical stuff
This is a single handheld shot. At ISO160, f8, -2/3, 1/2000 at 30 mils. Post-production was done with Adobe Lightroom. This included the conversion to black-and-white, the lighting, toning, cropping& rotating (90 degrees) and underlining the contrast between black and white elements. Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.

Life in housing project . Surrealism
My work based on my thoughts looking to this type houses in New York City and thinking how hard must life in this "dwellings"
Everyday with small air conditioner no sun light windows so small , etc, Children's playing on asphalt no grass , now trees and all surrounded with fences like in concentration lager. I believe they dreaming about land where they can sing openly to the wind or escape to there at least in dreams for now .
How people live in this type dwellings house projects you can understand from this sentence, and there more like this.
the architect the developers hired failed to design a sufficient number of vents in the building to allow air to escape"
from Government Code : A "dwelling" is any building or structure or portion thereof
which is occupied in whole or in part as the home, residence
or sleeping place of one or more human beings.

If memory serves me correctly, this man was one of many regular characters in Co-op City that shined among the many grey buildings.I think it's possible that the banality of Co-op City's ascetic brought out the best in many its residents.

Picture taken a few years ago during the winter when they were developing property and building some nice homes on our local lake. The vintage look was appealing to me, so this is what I did . This was February when the ice was trying to leave the lake.
