    Awesome shot. Great contrast!

  • Barbara Sparhawk

    Barbara Sparhawk, 7 months ago

    Exceptional shot. Extraordinary building, the architecture usually surpassing the work inside which is typically trendy crap and pop. The man on top (almost a stick figure from the distance) is watching you watching him. Another aspect of the Guggenheim, people going there to see each other and themselves in the eyes of others. Nice work Michael. You get right to the heart of things.

    this is so cool….I love that almost everyone is black compared to the stark white backdrop! It looks like something from a space movie!

    An hour ago I was looking at this picture by Nikki Trexel. The two would make an interesting pair side by side on the wall.

    A brilliant shot. Love the angle and contrast of the almost totally white interior with people silhouetted. A place I hope to visit one day. Well done!

    Another magical shot. What a fabulous image you’ve produced with your framing.

  • Peter Zentjens

    Peter Zentjens, 5 months ago

    Very abstract, strong composition, enhanced by the people to break the abstractism and bring the image back into real life.

  • TalBright

  • Ian  James

    Ian James, 5 months ago

    Great image. The tones and composition are spot on. I visited the Guggenheim a few years ago and was very disapointed as the space in this shot was full of a massive hanging art installation which detracted from the wonderful space. I will just have to go back and see it again.

  • Adrian Donoghue

    Hi Mark, Thanks. This is a fav of mine. I bumped into Bjork on this day while looking around to take some shots. My legs went to jelly. Unfortunately she’s not in this image!

  • JanG

    Fantastic view of an amazing building. Love the stark black and white. One thing I’ve noticed this morning looking through your portfolio is the magic you do with white – not the color that usually stands out to me, but it does in your work. This one and The White World and The White Dots would be interesting for a triptych.

    Hey Thanks so much for your comments. White images do attract me and also images of people. Thanks M:>
