One thing I've tried to 'capture' in photography at the Guggenheim is the vertigo-inducing lowness of the railings. I grew up on the side of a mountain with steep cliff-faces so I don't get vertigo easily, but I step near one of those railings and immediately get woozy. Seriously not up to code!
But it's hard to capture that without the cliched curves and spirals shots. Will figure it out someday.
I liked the shots you had that had a little blur but not full blur. When there are some figures standing still and others moving around them.
You might really like the podcast. They talk about the height of those. I totally know what you meant about the vertigo. When propping the camera on there I had to crop down for fear of falling over if I was standing up and leaning over.
I’m so touched by this note. I will DM you.
Architecture in action
I love the people in motion images. They’re great! - I also think the best part of the Guggenheim is the architecture.

Intriguing and great results in the experimentation. I say you've nailed it. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed this -- somehow reminded me of "Three Days of the Condor"!
It helps to read about your process and how you arrived at the final shots. It's inspiring work.
These people in motion photos are great! 👌
