Sweeping Shadows

I think that this is one of my favorite spots in all of Central Park…Bethesda Arcade. It’s a small little tunnel that connects the Central Park Mall to Bethesda Terrace. It’s adorned with amazing stonework and beautiful tiles that make it a true work of art.

Sweeping Shadows belongs to the following groups:

Alternative Process and Experimental Photography, Candid Photography ( 1/24 ) and New York City Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

    I love the depth of this shot. And the architectural shapes. It feels harsh and soft at the same time. Very pretty, Beck. I love the idea of the title. Very appropriate and gives even further depth to the image…

    Rebecca, I love this image! It is a favorite for me.
    I have been to CP countless times, ironically, not to Bethesda Arcade …since I was born in Bethesda, MD. After this image Iwill go next time I’m in the city. Congrats on the Feature!

  • RebeccaT replied

    Thanks so much Amy! :) I myself have only started visiting the arcade…it was just re-opened in 2007 – Lot’s of years of restoration to get it back to it’s former beauty. I had no idea it was even there before the restoration. – Definately worth a visit :).

    What a beautiful contrast between the shadows inside, and the sunlight streaming in from outside, and of course the man going about his work, adds so much life to the Image! well done on the feature, well deserved!!

  • RebeccaT replied

    Thank you so much for that thoughtful comment George :) – I appreciate the kind words. – I’m glad you like the man sweeping…It’s funny because I was actually waiting (and waiting) for him to get out of my shot…and to pass the time snapped a few – and ended up really liking what he brought to the image… :).
