Providence/RI Photo of the day - by Garris

the westin/mall picture is now my desktop!

Just thought I'd throw this in here, Terraserver has an awesome collection of aerial photos for Providence. I've seen people on this forum use the google aerial photos, these are much easier to navigate and I think you can zoom in closer.

Here are two photos I took April 29 in the Cranston Street Trolley Barn. I used an old Nippon Widelux camera, which takes an 140

Fantastic photos, J!

[Garris]

Wicked photos J! Those look like panoramas pieced together from individual shots. It's amazing one lens could produce those results. It must have terrible lense flare in low light, though.

I've been playing around with this image for a while. I hope you all enjoy!

Garris, you should post your excellent pics to the providenceri.com website. Great compositions, exposures, etc. They're as good or better than the professional photo collections that are already up there. Also would make a great calendar. (We need a good local calendar since the RI Tree Council stopped doing theirs.)

Personally I would love some pics of Westminster St.

Thanks! I'm trying (very slowly...) to put together a website gallery of the shots I've posted here (and some I haven't). I figure that will be easier to access then going through all of the posts. Maybe I'll submit it to the Providenceri.com folks when I'm done!

While I'm working on the gallery, here's another one of my "fog" shots, this one from about 11:30 that amazing night.

Why do I have a problem picturing the Arcade Parking Garage in my mind? It is the more modern parking garage across the street on Weybossett?

PS: I went to PPAC for the first time to see Stomp the other night. What a beautiful theater!

Have you guys ever had any problems shooting pictures from parking garages? I always feel like a security guard is gonna give me crap for trespassing, maybe I'm just paranoid.

[Garris]

Hi everyone!

I've started to put the photos I've been posting here on a website to make them easier to access. As I keep posting here, I'll add to the website. This is my first attempt at anything web-wise in about 8 or 9 years, so it's raw. There's no way to head backwards yet except the back button in your browser, but for now, here's the link:

In the meantime, here are some additional images. Enjoy!

PS: Can anyone recommend a free website counter?

Garris- Amazing pictures. I particularly like the one looking down Atwells with the Venda sign in it. Such a personal view of the pedestrian side of Atwells, and not to mention that the colors are just incredible.

[ArtInRuins]

Thought you guys would enjoy this comparison... Got to the 27th floor of the Industrial Trust Building on Friday. Good times. The orginal photo is from 1982, taken from almost the same spot, by a photographer for the HABS/HAER. My film hasnt come back yet but these are some digital shots stitched together.

[Recchia]

what a great comparison! I never realized how much Capital Center used to be a massive parking lot...

[Garris]

Fantastic, fantastic comparision shot! The transformation is amazing. A whole section of a city exists where none did before, and Thanks for posting it!

[AriPVD]

You've got to take another comparison shot in 2-3 years, J.

Continuing with my photos...

Garris, you've once again outdone yourself. The Kennedy Plaza sign with Citizens Plaza in the background-awwwesome. I dont know why, but I love pictures of signs.

[AriPVD]

Too bad Kennedy Plaza is NOT intermodal at all.

[ironchapman]

Nice shots, Garris!

The fog adds a nice effect on the city.

[Metro Bay SAMP]

These are wonderful images and show the beauty of this urban environment.

Hello all,

It's been a while since the last update, with most (if not all thus far) also on members.cox.net/garrisphotography/garrisphoto.html.

More from the foggy night, this time, rebuilding the Masonic Temple:

Moving a bit South, here's a picture from Jamestown, Rhode Island, with more to come!:

Far from my best, but it's one of my only Boston images, this one from the Copley Westin:

This one, also from the hotel, of the Christ Scientist Church in Boston:

Going elsewhere in New England, here's a view of the Burlington, Vermont waterfront dock:

Thought everyone would enjoy these images of the Mason building from the 13th of May. I want to go back there now that they have completely removed that side of the building...

[fuchsia groan]

As always, great pictures. Thanks.

What exactly is going on with the Masonic building? What are they going to do with it? I've been curious about it for a long time (continuously seeing it empty & derelict from I-95, with incomprehensible graffiti on the top).

It's becoming a Hotel.

I posted my Vineyard pics in the main photo section if anyone wants to check them out.
