Gateway: Apparition
http://gatewayarch.blogspot.com/2010/04/apparition.html
Thursday, April 22, 2010. I 'm going to try. To do at least one post a week on Gateway and keep it going. Sometimes the Arch seems not quite real to me. I mean, how did Eero Saarinen. And a bunch of space aliens drop this far-beyond-human scale metal epiphany in an ordinary Midwestern city? Sometimes when I walk or drive by I start thinking what the hell is that doing here? Building the Arch was one of the few acts of real vision in the modern history of this sometimes indifferent burgh. Enchantedlearnin...

Gateway: Post-Industrial Arch
http://gatewayarch.blogspot.com/2010/04/post-industrial-arch.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. The Arch sits in a leafy park but there are old, run down industrial areas to the north and south. It all looks rather nice from the south with sunshine on it. Posted by Bob Crowe. Dans la pollution de la ville, une autre vision. April 29, 2010 at 12:54 AM. A great (and different) perspective on the Arch. April 29, 2010 at 10:03 AM. A great one too with this old industrial buildings and web of wires. Love the contrast! May 4, 2010 at 5:41 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Gateway: Apex
http://gatewayarch.blogspot.com/2010/05/apex.html
Thursday, May 6, 2010. We almost always look at the Arch from the side, more or less. Well, what if you look straight up at it from underneath? This is the point where the pieces come together, the keystone. The narrow rectangles are windows in the observation deck. They are angled down at about 45 degrees. Bring your Dramamine.

Gateway: Salvage Job
http://gatewayarch.blogspot.com/2009/08/salvage-job.html
Thursday, August 20, 2009. An exercise: this photo has a close relative appearing today on. ST LOUIS DAILY PHOTO. So, I started playing with the individual pictures in the sequence. This one was 1 stop (ISO 100, f 6.3, 1/100 sec., spot metering). I always shoot in RAW so I could mess around with the image a lot. This is what came out. Click to see the companion photo on ST. LOUIS DAILY PHOTO. Which do you prefer, assuming that either one does something for you? Posted by Bob Crowe. From The New York Times.

Gateway: December 2009
http://gatewayarch.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 25, 2009. Has been moribund for four months. Good intentions but not enough time. The new plan is to post images that have appeared in the Thursday Arch Series on St. Louis Daily Photo. And any other images I come up with. They don't need to be new Arch pictures; they just need to celebrate the monument. So Gateway is back with levels on levels of arches. Posted by Bob Crowe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Most of these pictures have been published in my other blog, St. Louis Daily Photo.

Gateway: April 2009

Friday, April 24, 2009. Yes, another silly HDR, shot just before sunset. I should have Photoshopped two moons into the sky. Take me to your leader. Posted by Bob Crowe. Thursday, April 9, 2009. Shoots the monument. I'm learning to make better use of my wide angle lens. The Arch is so big that you need one if you want anything in the foreground. Hooray for digital cameras with full-sized light sensors. Posted by Bob Crowe. Thursday, April 2, 2009. Posted by Bob Crowe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). How Thing...

Gateway: May 2010

Thursday, May 27, 2010. An oldie but a goodie excavated from the archives. Sort of makes me think of the opening scene in. If I had a music player on this blog I'd put on. Posted by Bob Crowe.

Gateway: May 2009
http://gatewayarch.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. St Louis factoid: this place is awash with casinos. There are three in sight of the Arch. This billboard rises from the parking lot of one of them in Illinois opposite the monument. It advertises that it has the loosest slot machines in the whole country (that is, the highest payout percentage) but it's still a bad bet. Posted by Bob Crowe. Thursday, May 21, 2009. OOPS - Thursday mid-morning: I just noticed that I posted this picture in March. Oh, well. Posted by Bob Crowe. Is a r...
