A Senior photo session by Boston Portrait Photographer Steven Erat
In June 2018, my wife & I attended a Family Wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn, 275 Baker Street in Atlanta, Georgia. One end the hallway on the on the 13 Floor (they call it Floor PH) gave me a Great View of the CSX Tracks, while the other end of the hallway gave me a great view of the Skyview Ferris Wheel across the street from Centennial Olympic Park.
I took these two photographs, from the 13th Floor Hallway of our Hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn. It shows a Yard Truck at a Trucking Company Loading Dock.
This isn't the postcard view of San Francisco; it's the working, breathing, and mysterious side of the waterfront, captured at the quiet cusp of night. The photograph plunges you into a dramatic, low-light scene along the Embarcadero, likely near one of the old working piers or warehouse areas. The atmosphere is immediately captivating—a mix of deep shadows and harsh, focused electric light that carves the space into sharp planes. The overall mood is definitely moody, almost cinematic, feeling less like a simple snapshot and more like a carefully set scene from a crime thriller or a neo-noir film.
The composition uses the long, straight road as a stark leading line, pulling the eye from the foreground, where the wet asphalt gleams and reflects the scattered light, all the way back into the darkness. On the left, a long, low-slung building complex is the main source of illumination. Its brightly lit facade contrasts dramatically with the heavy, industrial architecture of the overhead trusses and metal framing, which are barely visible, blending into the darkness above. The light catches the subtle details: the texture of the pavement, the faint lines of parking spaces, and the wet sheen left by earlier rain or coastal moisture.
On the right side, the scene shifts to raw infrastructure. Here, the shadows are deepest, concealing large utility boxes, industrial machinery, and pipes that climb the side of the building. This contrast between the modern, glass-and-steel facade on the left and the raw, grimy utility area on the right is what defines the character of the image—it’s where commerce meets the gritty reality of a working port. Even a small detail like the solitary car receding into the distance adds to the narrative, suggesting movement and perhaps a shift change, emphasizing the late hour. The lighting is key; it’s an artificial warmth, almost amber, that fights against the deep, cold blue of the night, giving the entire streetscape a palpable sense of isolation and high contrast. This photo is a quiet, powerful moment of urban solitude, capturing the industrial beauty of the city's underbelly after the day's traffic has subsided and the structures are left alone with their shadows and secrets. It’s a compelling look at the architecture of utility and the loneliness of the urban edge.
This old warehouse provided rail service back in the day... It used to be a heavy traffic area for boxcars and the loading docks working around the clock to fill their orders... Chicago, Illinois

Inspiration strikes in the strangest places.
For most of my life, I've been wholly unable to concentrate with any sort of noise or distraction around me. I'm not one of those people who could do my homework/reading/writing with the tv on or music playing. Studying in libraries was difficult because of the activity around me. I always got my best work done when I was closed up, alone, in complete silence.
Since I've started working on this book, I've found the exact opposite to be true. For the past four days, I've gotten my best writing done in busy coffee shops, full of people, with my earbuds in and music blaring. It's been a strange change in method for me, but I'm really loving it. I passed the fifty page mark today and I'm feeling pretty damn good about that. I've never stuck with a novel concept for this long before. Here's hoping my momentum keeps me plowing forward towards the finish line.

This loading dock is pretty sleepy this evening, but I think the business will see more action if we run some train tracks to it.

This photo was taken in the morning around 6:45 AM in the parking garage 6th floor at the Grove mall, in Los Angeles, Calif. After getting out of my car to go shopping, I noticed the sky and said wow, and got out my camera and took a few shots and came up with this one. Don't blink cause the sky keeps changing. I did some adjusting in photoshop, slight sharping and color enrichment and this is the final result.
I got off work late, and the light was fading, but I was determined to get a decent Facedown Tuesday with orange for Cynthia's birthday. Happy Birthday Cyn!

The view north from the A470 bridge shows a threatening sky over the Snowdon Range looking towards Blaneau Ffestiniog. The explosives siding ends just short of the good shed & dock that it formerly served. I'm not sure what the four dots on the yellow milepost signify as that is just about 20 miles dead from the zero point at Bala Junction. Can anyone name any of the mountains in view? As far as I can tell we are looking in the direction of Tryfan which could be the one in the distance shrouded in cloud.

This past weekend we attended a wonderful organ/string recital at the famous Estey Organ Museum in Brattleboro, VT.
Kim Benzel was in charge of the phenomenally beautiful and delicious tea which followed the musical event.
I had the pleasure of wandering the grounds with my camera for some amazing architectural opportunities. Stay "tuned" . . .
