"Oculus station house, designed by Santiago Calatrava, consists of white ribs that interlock high above the ground. The interior of the station house contains two underground floors, which house part of the Westfield World Trade Center mall. The transportation hub connects the various modes of transportation in Lower Manhattan, from the Fulton Center in the east to the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal in the west, through the station house. The hub contains connections to various New York City Subway stations, including Cortlandt Street on the N, R, and W trains; World Trade Center on the 2, 3, A, C, and E trains; and WTC Cortlandt on the 1 train. The Westfield World Trade Center mall is also within the Oculus building."

On Thursday, March 4th, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Lower Manhattan officially opened to the public. The hub replaces the PATH train station that was destroyed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which — if you'll recall — was rather a long time ago. Indeed, over 12 years in the making, the new train station is symbol of both governmental waste and architectural excess. Its centerpiece is the Oculus, a mind-boggling glass-and-steel structure designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava to look like a dove in flight, but it actually more closely resembles a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the sands of Lower Manhattan.
Critics have blasted the hub for its massive cost overruns ($4 billion in public money) and lack of anything resembling a traditional train station (ticket machines, clocks, maps). But its existence is significant, if only because the hub represents the type of ambitious open spaces that used to exemplify public transit in the US. Grotesquely expensive, sure. Tough on the eyes, no question. But at least we all get to share in the spectacle.

The Oculus is the head house, or main hall, of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, the formal name of the new PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) station. The Hub was designed by Santiago Calatrava, following the destruction of World Trade Center after the September 11 attack.
The structure also includes the Westfield World Trade Center mall.

This fully working toy camera takes 16mm film on a paper backing. Before taking it with me on a short trip to Rome, I re-rolled some expired 16mm FP4 film onto an original backing paper. There are copious amounts of dust on the film, and various scratches and other blemishes, but for me they add to the charm of the images from this tiny, very simple working toy.
