Blue Hour Bayonne Bridge
The post Urban Industrial Imaging is written by Frank Villafañe (click on on images for larger view):
I grew up in the North East; specifically, Bayonne, New Jersey. At least, I consider Bayonne to be my home. My father was in the Air Force, so we moved around quite a lot, but we always came back to Bayonne.
As a child, I was completely enamored with the city…skyscrapers, industrial landscapes and huge structures absolutely fascinated me. The North East has a metropolitan flair that is totally unique – there is no other place exactly like it: a megalopolis with a frantic mechanized pace. Even storms here are known as Nor’Easters.
My goal is to capture, digitally, the quintessential North East – sweeping twilight urban vistas, large brooding structures, huge powerful intricate machinery and abandoned warehouses – essentially, urban industrial images, the very core of Urban Industrial Imaging.
What follows are some of my favorite images from this uniquely uncommon built environment. I love to shoot bridges and trestles, and this area boasts many world-class structures:
George Washington Bridge
Newark Ave Bridge & Trestle
Newark Penn Station Trestle
Pulaski Skyway at Night
