| Unknown Photographer, Grand Central Station, c. 1954? |
Thanks for braving the weather today! Tomorrow will be a lot warmer. Just a reminder--we will be taking another field trip, so come prepared and bring subway fare for two trips.
Today we went to Coney Island to shoot the sand and surf (and rain) We also went to Grand Central Station in search of hidden secrets. Bonus points: can anyone tell me why the light looks so amazing in the above photograph? Here's a hint--it's related to the black patch of ceiling that I pointed out to you, and the date should give you a clue.
On to tonight's homework:
- Post 1-3 (or more!) images from todays Coney Island trip.
- Post 1 photo that you shot at Grand Central (We searched for the hidden, overlooked or secret scenes in Grand Central). Even if you weren't happy with how your image turned out, please post it anyway and tell us a little about what you dislike about it.
- Write 1 paragraph about your photo series and 1 paragraph about your video and email it to me. Even if you are still figuring out the specifics of your series, please write what you can. This is a free writing exercise to get you thinking about how to verbalize your projects and is just mean to get us started.
- Keep shooting for your series and your video.
If you have any questions about any of this, please get in touch.
See you tomorrow!
The light might be showing up more if there was smoke, the date is I think around the right time. Is the rectangle on the ceiling dirt from cigarette smoke?

ReplyDeleteThe light and shadow looks so amazing which was from the grid of dormer .
ReplyDelete1954: New York Central Railroad proposed a plan to tear down Grand Central Station and construct an office tower in its place.
I think since many people had to rebellion the plan,so they took photos to let everyone know how beautiful the Grand Central Station was, and liked to preserve the station.
The photo is the best representative of this building.
