The images from the previous Olympus InVision Photo Festival post were mostly from the Sunday workshop. Here are a few more from the Southside of Bethlehem. The following images were taken at the Book Store, Machine Shop and the Cathedral Church of the Nativity:
Every November, ArtsQuest puts on the Olympus Invision Photo Festival. The event is focused 100% around photography. There are presentations, social activities, and workshops throughout the weekend event. Here are a few images from the event:
Light Painting on the Hoover Mason Trestle
The roof of the Hotel Bethlehem
The SmithyÂ
This is the final post of the images from the former Bethlehem Steel plant. This post will consist of images of rust or the oxidation process. It is amazing to see the various forms of art when you just look at small segments of this massive complex.
This is a follow up post from the one I did on Thursday. These Bethlehem Steel images are in the “E” Cast Floor within the Blast Furnace. Several images are of the “stoves”. A special thank you to my shooting partner and Bethlehem Steel aficionado Bruce Ward. He was kind enough to help me the the proper nomenclature.
Over a year ago I was afforded another opportunity to enter The Belly of the Beast (aka the former Bethlehem Steel Plant). I am breaking this into 3 parts. The first one consists of images of the inside journey.
As my final post for 2014, I thought it would be appropriate to show some bright, colorful and festive images. Over the last couple of months I have been experimenting with Olympus’s new “Live Composite” mode. I have been extremely impressed. Enjoy and Happy New Year to all of you!
On the last day of the InVision Photo Festival I, along with Dave Rehrig, Ryan Hulvat, Bruce Ward and Rick Holt, had the opportunity to facilitate the photo-shoot at the National Museum of Industrial History. To say we had fun would be an understatement! Please check out the video by clicking HERE .
My friend and fellow photographer, Dave Rehrig obtained an image, while visiting Penn State which, we believe, was taken by Walker Evans. The scene was taken in South Bethlehem, PA. However, it wasn’t signed or noted anywhere. We both went online and couldn’t verify the photographer. In any event, we attempted to duplicate the scene and the first of the following images is my attempt at a modern day view of this place. While we were snooping around, I found a few other perspectives I enjoyed.
This past weekend turned out to be a perfect time for a spring hike in the middle of winter. I went to the Bethlehem Tow Path, which provides for great views of the blast furnaces of the former Betlehem Steel plant.
A little over a week ago I had the opportunity to shoot at the National Museum of Industrial History (NMIH) located on the former Bethlehem Steel property in Bethlehem, PA. This was an incredible experience. The staff was extremely helpful during the couple of hours we were shooting. Their web site indicates their purpose is to tell the story of America’s Industrial achievements and the accomplishments of its inventors, managers and preserve the record of industry’s development and advancements from the middle 1800’s until present time.
