"WANDERING PHOTOGRAPHIC NORWICH"

 “CONVERGENCE”

-- Since I didn’t have the PC lens with me, the best thing I could do was to get as high up as I could conveniently.

-- Another advantage was that it was cool in the shade,

-- Which is not what it was in the sun.

-- This picture was a compromise between getting the verticals right and cropping the top off the spire

-- Or, to live with a little distortion.

-- I went with a bit of tilting the lens up.

-- Leaving the rebate in place.

-- Post-production warped pixels are a painful thing...

-- I've made some more pictures involving this unique wonderful Beaux-Arts City Hall.

The front steps and portico at the front of the building.

The lamp posts are on the West side of the building.

The latter dates back some time and I caught it just as the sun is softly hiding below the top of the hill on the left.

By the way, I had the steps of the old Otis Library to help to raise myself for this picture.

All of these were taken with a Nikon F2 and with either Eastman or Ilford film.

A MONDAY RANT

UNION PARK ON A SULTRY DAY

********************************

-- There are three images here

-- (Not my normal)

-- But I’m trying to illustrate a point here.

-- The first image is an oblique image of some wonderful old houses on Crossway Street in Norwich

-- Backed up by an unfeeling pile of brick on Broadway.

-- It ruins my image, it depresses the neighbor.

-- What did the Architect think he was really doing.??

-- Did he think that this flaw would ad interest to the model like a gap in its teeth.

-- Not in my opinion...

-- Exhibit “B” is a picture of this Pile of Bricks at #177

-- And next to it is Exhibit “C” to the south of it trying, nobly, to keep its head up.

-- I hope #176 gets a reduced tax rate for having had its property devalued by its neighbor.

-- Unfortunately, so many architects and builders think only of themselves and so often forget that a building has a responsibility to its neighborhood not just to the bank.

-- OK end of rant, for today 

-- But don’t think it’s not on my mind every day…
