Portimao Blue Metallic 2021 BMW M4 Competition




I had fun with this shoot the other day. Learned quite a lot and found it quite challenging to find compositions and perspectives. Car photography is not my cup of tea but with some more work and more time with different colorful subjects I can definitely see loads of improvement.

Two major things I learned are to make sure the car is cleaned and free of water spots. Lastly, DO NOT FORGET your polarizer filter.

Inside the Abandoned Rockaway Metal Products Factory in Queens (Photos)

Image
A bird's eye snapshot of the building and the surrounding businesses. Rockaway Metal Products (RMP) began as a sheet metal fabrication factory in 1961. RMP occupied the site from 1971 to 1987, leaving a plethora of hazardous waste materials onsite. From 1990 to 2004 the building housed various tenants, which even included an auto repair shop. Rockaway Metal, a manufacturer of filing cabinets and other metal products, closed down in 1987. It was leased a few years ago to different owners who did not manage the 4.85-acre parcel. The 155,000-square-foot building had long been an eyesore and trouble in the neighborhood since its closure. A coastal storm in March 2018 blew debris materials onto adjacent properties. Rockaway Metal was acquired by Nassau County in 1995 by tax deed, and the county held onto the property for more than 22 years. In February 2011, the site was damaged by fire and condemned soon thereafter. For more in-depth detail on the le...

Inside the Abandoned St. Michael and St. Edward Church in Brooklyn

Image
For weeks, I had been orbiting the perimeter of the impending demolition of the Church of St. Michael and St. Edward, a once revered church in the heart of Fort Greene, like a moth drawn to a flame. The neighborhood, a patchwork of tight project housing, seemed indifferent to the fate of this historic edifice. The intel I had received suggested that entry was as simple as scaling a wooden fence, yet the timing had never felt right. Until one day, it did. With a mission in New Jersey looming, I knew it was now or never. The demolition was advancing at a startling pace, the church's twin steeples already reduced to rubble. The skeletal remains of timber beams and rusted steel frames peeked out from the ruins, a testament to the relentless march of progress. Summoning a surge of courage, I seized a moment of quiet in the bustling housing project and vaulted over the fence. My heart pounded in my ches...

Post Update — September 2026 🎓 The Doll House was saved: 350 Grand Street is becoming a high school Everything above was written when the fencing and the netting looked like the last act. It was not. The building at 350 Grand Street is not being demolished — it is being adaptively reused as the new high school campus of Foundation Academies . The charter school's own audited financial statements record the transaction: on 29 August 2024 Foundation purchased the land and building at 350 Grand Street for $4.8 million , and on 16 December 2024 sold it to Friends of Foundation Academy, a related non-profit, for $3.5 million, which is developing and renovating the site and will lease it back to the school.
