Captured back on 4/11/09, early in the morning, about 1.5 miles/2.414 kilometers from my reclusive residence. Reflections galore on display from a forgotten folder. I had driven and walked by this magnificent dark window edifice a jillion and one times before realizing it would be a photographer's dream to shoot. I took 127 pics, on two Saturdays a month apart, on a day of the week I figured there wouldn't be much business going on in this business building. It had originally been a General Telephone headquarters until Verizon came on the scene. Now it just leases out office space to various companies. I'm really surprised that there were no security cameras around to record my every move as I circled the structure, snapping away with wild abandon. In fact, I expected a guard to come running out at any moment to harass me. But both photo shoots were mostly uneventful. These shots were taken from an adjacent vacant lot, and I was stunned, considering the ample light available, that the photos came out so dark. My theory is that the window reflectivity overwhelmed the lens, which in turn overcompensated for the effect. Pictures 1 and 3 in this collage are the originals; 2 and 4 are the Photoshop postworked versions. I suspect there are those that will choose the originals as their favorites, possibly bacause of the dark and brooding effect. Incidentally, this is the back of the building. Anyway, I couldn't look through the windows, even from up close, but I'm sure anyone inside could look out. There are definitely more fotos to come, mostly closeups, of this spectacular spartan glass-enclosed beauty. Ta-ta, and thankx for clicking on.
