Great shots of Flatiron Building taken by Polaroids

The Flatiron Building (or Fuller Building, as it was originally called) is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city and one of only two skyscrapers north of 14th Street – the other being the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, one block east. The building sits on a triangular island-block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak. As with numerous other wedge-shaped buildings, the name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron. (Wikipedia)

Metaphysics of an Urban Landscape: New York

Metaphysics of an Urban Landscape is an ongoing series from Gabriele Croppi, which concentrates on capturing high contrast, black-and-white images of large cities. Here we get a look at his images of New York. The Milan-based photographer turns the bustling metropolis into a silent, near empty landscape where much of his images are completely blacked out and turned into negative space, creating a stark contrast to the whites and greys present in the compositions.

Warped Architecture Takes Over The World by Victor Enrich

Buildings all over the world are getting some very wild renovations… at least in the mind of photographer Victor Enrich. The Barcelona born artist has taken images of sky scrapers from the world’s cities and digitally reworked them with 3D rendering techniques. In doing so he creates buildings that pour out onto the street, bend horizontal, extrude their features in wild directions and even expand into trumpet like forms. The impossible buildings look like the imaginative mind of Frank Gehry run wild.

Rarely Seen Photographs from the September 11th Attacks

11 years ago digital cameras were not as common as they are today. They were expensive or bulky and took low quality photographs. There were also very few ways to publish your photographs online for many people to see. Contrast that to today where anyone that owns a cellphone has a decent quality still picture camera and can post an image online in front of thousands of people within seconds after capturing it. When the events of 9/11 took place there was a flood of photographs taken by professional photographers and members of the press, but you didn’t see many featured photographs that were taken by everyday people because of the limitations on technology and the internet at the time.
