This wonderful abstract shot depicts the spines (steel ribs) at the Oculus, the NYC downtown transit center designed by Santiago Calatrava. The scale and design are a perfect representation of New York resilience after 9/11. 

The structure’s white metal-clad steel ribs reach up and out in a monumental move symbolic of a hand releasing a dove. In my opinion as an architect, it is the most important architectural building constructed in New  York City in the last 75 years. 

This transportation hub is home to 12 subway lines, the World Trade Center path station and numerous retailers.  the project has been heavily criticized for both for the lengthy delays and for being the most costly station anywhere in the world, costing the public $3.9 billion, $2 billion more than initially estimated.

This shot was taken on my iphone 11 and I have not been able to duplicate it to date on my Nikon.

The print produced from this image brings out beautiful grain in the shadow areas, reminiscent of images taken on the old Kodak Tri-X film.

This image was a finalist in a black and white photo competition by Kira Art Gallery in 2022, recognized for best "best Pattern" and is shortlisted in a black and White international competition in the "Architecture" Category, along with 3 other images of mine in the same category.

Shop with confidence

Clear sizing for your wall art

Different images look best in different sizes and proportions. I don't lure you in with deceptive prices on ridiculously small prints. Instead, I select the best sizes and mediums for each piece of wall art. Because some of my images were taken during the earlier days of digital photography, I cannot enlarge them beyond certain sizes without losing quality.

Transparent pricing

No hidden fees. Everything, including 2-day shipping, is reflected in the price, so you'll know exactly how much you'll pay. However, state and local taxes have to be added separately and vary based on your location. They will be automatically calculated at checkout.

Quality printing

I work with one of the finest print houses in the US to print, assemble and ship all of your orders

Frame add-ons

Should you decide to use a framed option, I have pre-selected a few of our favorite box frames for you to choose from. Looking for something different?

Stunning mediums, handpicked
for each print

Different images require different mediums to reflect the photographers’ artistic vision and to preserve artistic integrity. A black and white architectural print aimed to create an industrial feel will require a different medium from a brilliant nature photo. I recommend the best mediums for each fine art photo shown on this website so you can order confidently, knowing that the piece of artwork you receive will reflect the style you are hoping to create.

All North American orders will be printed at one of the finest print houses in the US.
