I have had my eye on a particular rooftop since before this project began. It belongs to the apartment on 128 Washington Street and I had tried to contact the tenants there on a few occasions to see about shooting from this vantage point. I had nearly given up until I walked into Shipshape one day and was informed by the owner that the apartment was currently vacant. I quickly phoned Gerald Kaplan who was renting the space and we arranged to meet near sunset.
The view, as you can see, was clearly worth the wait. I spent an hour up there with Gerry photographing varying vantage points as the sun slowly set. This was one of my favorite images though I have a few others to show in the weeks to come.
nice shot! and with Abbot hall in the background… perfect….
Love the peeling paint and the ladder…makes it real.
What a great shot.
