entry description
A series Inspired by the mythical Gotham and Metropolis Cities of Batman fame, first published in comic form 1927 and made famous in the original Tim Burton 1989 movie. Widely perceived to be NYC the various movies have in fact evolved though many architectural styles from gothic spires to art deco and towering metal structures. They are all highly evocative urban landscapes reflecting a dark and often dystopian mood, but all with imposing structures and strong lines that take on a character of their own in the storyline. This collection of images are a modern, somewhat futuristic interpretation of that genre, all captured in NYC.about the photographer
My photographic journey began over 40 years ago as a teenager learning the fundamentals of the craft in the darkroom and with large plate cameras. This early interest was matched by my passion for technology and entrepreneurship which has led me on path of discovery and exploration in countries and cultures throughout the world. Having lived and worked on four continents, I now reside in the USA and combine extensive global travel with a passion for Fine Art photography."I try to distill an image down to its uncluttered form, which is why I favor B+W where less can say more."back to gallery
