Taking a few days off from to exhibit my work at the Architectural Digest Home and Design this coming weekend in New York City. The show runs 10am-6pm March 16-19th, 2017 at Pier 94 on the westside. If you are interested in tickets, I can still get a few comp tickets before March 15th. Hope to see you there!

I’m not sure if it’s because people react strongly to the human figure, or whether it’s the juxtaposition of disparate elements which create a variety of narratives. Regardless, this image of the Antony Gormley Sculpture at the Astrup Fearnley Museum in Oslo, garners lots of comments and remains one of my favorites.
After spending the morning sunrise in the newly completed Barcode Area of Oslo (see first image in Oslo portfolio), and a brisk walk along the roofline of the Oslo Opera House (yes, you can walk along the sloping roofline to the top), I headed to the the Renzo Piano designed Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art.
After finding several interesting scenes, I found this sculpture by Antony Gormley attached to the side of the building looking straight down. I especially like how the tower angles-in from the top right–it’s like a scene from Goldinger (James Bond).
I took a taxi cab before sunrise to the area where this tower is located, unsure of how close I could actually get. Surprisingly, you can actually walk right up and touch the tower. I spent some time at this location and made several images. This is one of my two favorites.
After getting in trouble for making photographs within the Rockefeller Center Plaza, I walked around to 630 Fifth Avenue and made this image which includes St Patricks Cathedral. Apparently tripods are not allowed within the plaza. I was able to get a few more images by just carefully leveling and balancing my camera on my backpack. No tripod, no problem.
The Holmenkollen Ski Jump is a beautiful piece of architecture in Oslo and being a skier myself, I had to make a visit. This image shows the highest point of the ski jump from just beneath.
