Alcatraz
Despite having been to San Francisco many times, I had never been to Alcatraz. When my wife and I started our pan-California road trip in the summer of 2014 I figured it was finally time. She may have preferred that I visited prior to her being with me – not because she didn’t enjoy it,…

Beekman Hotel
I was in New York for business and we had an engagement party in Staten Island that weekend, so I took a couple days off basically just to stay at the Beekman Hotel. It has a very “Blade Runner” aesthetic in the atrium and tons of amazing metalwork railings. It is also a fantastic hotel,…

South Boston Naval Annex Building 16 – Love of Photography
In the previous 3 posts on Building 16, I have not yet touched on the most important thing about it. It is the reason I have 20 trips here in my Lightroom catalog and it is the reason I love this empty warehouse so much and care so much about it’s ultimate fate. That reason…

South Boston Naval Annex Building 16 – On Film!
It should come as no surprise that amongst the many trips to the building I took and all the photography I did there, I took some time to shoot film as well. These are shot on Fuji Neopan 1600 and Fuji Pro 160s.

On the other hand, Building 16 was a completely empty abandoned warehouse…

Cape Cod 2021
Here are the photos from my 2021 trip to Cape Cod. This was my first major excursion with my new Canon R5. I own the RF 24-70 f/2.8 and rented the 15-35 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8. Was very impressed with both of the rental lenses, but will probably only wind up getting the zoom. I…

Ramage Paper Mill
The Ramage Paper Mill was a fairly typical paper mill on the shores of the Deerfield River in Monroe, MA. I had found it the typical way – scouring the internet and browsing satellite imagery. Being fairly far from home, I scouted it during a drive I took out here with a friend during the…

Packard Plant – Trip 5
Several of these pictures were never published on my old site, so I figured I might as well make this a new post that is not back dated to a time close to where the pictures were originally posted. Packard Plant Trip 4 produced some fairly unremarkable night shots before we retired to The Pyramid…
