Corner Office by Jay Gross

2221 (That’s the name of the building) on Devine Street near Five Points in Columbia, South Carolina. I staged this picture in an empty floor in the mid-1970s shortly after the building opened. The building’s architect borrowed the furnishings from various offices on the other floors. Calumet 4×5, mostly available light with some added spots. The transparency has suffered greatly from the ravages of time, hence the color disturbances. The building still stands, good as new.

Normandy Bakery Coffee Corner by Jay Gross

Normandy Bakery, an artisan bake shop and coffeehouse in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The coffeehouse portion is mostly take-out, but there is this corner table in the front window. This image was included on a poster promoting my 2002 photo-illustrated book on the coffeehouses of downtown Charleston. Canon T-70 (actual film!), available afternoon daylight from the two large windows you can see in the picture. I’ve applied a Tone Mapping filter to the image to even out shadow and highlight brightnesses. This is a scan from a print. It was reproduced in black and white inside the book.

A Model For Lincoln by Cora Wandel

This is a six-foot-high plaster model of the famous statue of Abraham Lincoln seated in the Lincoln Memorial and was created by the statue’s sculptor, Daniel Chester French, as a working model to build the statue from. Work began on the now world-famous seated statue of Lincoln in 1915 and several plaster models were created showing Lincoln in different poses, including standing. When the final design of the seated statue of Lincoln was decided upon, it was to be twelve feet high and made of bronze. But eventually Henry Bacon, the architect of the Lincoln Memorial building, felt that the statue needed to be larger in order to fit within the enormous size of the building and be visible from a distance through its columns, so the plans for the statue changed and the finished statue is over nineteen feet high and is made of Georgia marble instead of bronze. Architectural experts feel the adjusted size of the statue fits perfectly in the vast space of the Lincoln Memorial and that the change from bronze to marble makes the statue more visible from a distance through the tall white columns it sits behind. The statue opened to the public on May 30, 1922, the date the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated. Former President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft presided over the dedication, and in attendance was Lincoln’s only surviving child, Robert Todd Lincoln. The plaster model of the statue was photographed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. where it is part of a multi-faceted exhibit honoring the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, who was born on February 12, 1809. Thank you to the groups “Canon DSLR” and “Statues and Such” for featuring this photograph. The Lincoln Memorial has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 15, 1966.

The Old Post Office by Cora Wandel

The Old Post Office was built from 1892 to 1899, and when completed was the largest office building and first building incorporating a steel frame in Washington, D.C. The building has had a notorious history beginning with the opening ceremonies when the Postmaster of Washington fell to his death down an elevator shaft. The building’s history as the main Post Office of Washington was cut short fifteen years after it opened when in 1914 it was decided to move the city’s main postal operation to a more centralized location in the District of Columbia. At that time the relatively new building was dubbed the “old” post office, a name that is still with it today nearly a century later. The most recognizable feature of the Old Post Office is its 315-foot high clock tower which makes the building the third tallest structure in Washington, behind the Washington Monument which is the tallest and then the United States Capitol. Today the Old Post Office is also the largest commercial building in the District. In addition to the clock tower, the building is well-known for its expansive interior atrium which is home to popular shops, restaurants and entertainment facilities. This is a photograph of the atrium’s high glass ceiling with the famous clock tower centered in the background.

Reflections by Tibby Steedly

In my grandmother’s house / I live surrounded by old / dark wood and the song / of the wood thrush / playing on tape. In my grandmother’s chair / I sit fitting into cotton / crevices formed by old hips / and wood worn smooth / by soft wrinkled hands. I’m occupying still-warm / vacated spaces. My grandmother’s strong bones / are buried in the graveyard / by the interstate highway / but I catch reflections / of her memories / in the bathroom mirror / as I pass. She is too quick for me. (Dedicated to my grandmother, Tallulah Little Dozier) / Copyright 1989-2009 Elizabeth Dozier Steedly I took this picture a week after my grandmother passed away in 1989, leaving me the gift of her wonderful, organic home where I lived for sixteen years. Living in this quaint, old house tucked into the woods of South Carolina was one of the greatest joys of my life. FEATURED in the IMAGEWRITING Group – November 13, 2009!!
