Flatiron

Flatiron

For my second Monochromia post I selected an architectural shot. I took that image of the iconic Flatiron Building (aka Fuller Building) back in 2018 when my wife and I visited the Big Apple on our Silver Wedding Anniversary trip. NYC is full of great architecture, and architecture is a great fit with black & white photography.

More of my photography can be seen on my blog “Streets of Nuremberg“

Cemetery Strange

When the Old Settler’s Cemetery in Uptown Charlotte, NC, ran out of space in 1853, the city purchased the first of several tracts of land totaling 100 acres for a new municipal cemetery. Given race relations of that era, the property developed as three distinct but adjacent cemeteries: Elmwood (for the burial of White persons), Pinewood (for the burial of Black persons), and Potter’s Field (for the burial of White paupers). This composition is from the Elmwood section, shot with during a photo-walk with my niece.
