p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Oculus


The Oculus, better known to us New Yorkers as the Down Town Transit Hub is nearing completion. We can now enter the amazing structure designed by spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and constructed at a staggering 4 Billion US Dollars. I was there today and took these with my phone (Samsung Galaxy s4) and processed in photoshop. Quite a few of the exterior photos are stitched.

I'll go back with a real camera if they ever finish construction.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Very cool, thanks, definitely has Calatrava written all over it. Hope it doesn't turn into a white (or rather, rusty) elephant that the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia threatens to be. Why is called the Oculus though? Reminds me more of Marella.

A most impressive series of architectural captures, Morris. A particular favourite is -6 with sunlight refracting around the rising structure.

It's my pleasure, supposedly it looks like an eye

Thank you Rick,

My son, when 6, showed me the value of having the sun reflecting in an image like that.

Thank you Paul,

I'm planning to mix up what I shoot more. I had a blast taking and processing these.
