Have a seat…...for a fireside chat! top ten in challenge: YOUR LIVING SPACES / featured in OCCUPIED INTERIORS
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.

A secluded corner Camera used: / CANON EOS 450D
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.

Inside view of the coffee counter in Wired & Fired on East Bay Street in Charleston, South Carolina. This cool place served coffee and espresso and such while you painted pottery greenware that they then fired for you. Or you could just drink coffee and nevermind the pottery. This image was included (in B&W) in my 2002 book on the coffeehouses of downtown Charleston: “Coffee Experience: Charleston, South Carolina.” Canon T-70, available light mostly from the huge front windows at camera left. This is a scan from a small color print.

This is the main hallway (near the elevators) of the 45th floor of the TrumpTaj Mahal Hotel and Casino. I just couldn’t resist all those cascading reflections! / (Atlantic City, NJ) / camera:SONY CYBERSHOT DSC W-90 /
I love a good library, don’t you? This is what the library aboard Adventure of the Seas looks like – neat!
It’s a shame that this kitchen won’t get a lot of action !

This hanging plant is between a window and a closet door, hopefully adding a bit of cheer to the room. /
Stairs Camera used: / NIKON COOLPIX S500
This window is casting a beautiful shadow on the bed of a spare bedroom and of course I had to try to capture it! Haven’t done much with photographing shadows….so it’s a learning experience! /
