The Court

The New York Criminal Courts building has an imposing colonnade that have been shown in many movies.  I have taken many pictures from the front down the steps.  But, I always found those shots rather routine.  I took a different approach this time and went up the steps behind the columns.  

I thought of an admired photographer friend in Rome, Enzo De Martino, and his success in isolating individuals within the geometrics of the Roman architecture.    This was the result.  

I'm sure many times the influences of photographers through the years has subliminally influenced me, but at this moment, I was think of a specific style and tried to emulate it.
