The Photographs of Erik S. Lieber

Brooklyn Bridge From the Tobacco Warehouse

If you ask my kids what my favorite place in the world is, they would instantly answer, "The Brooklyn Bridge." I love walking down around the bridge. I love walking over it. I especially love to photograph it. I'm always seeking new and interesting ways to photograph something that has been photographed millions of times. This shot was taken from another structure that I've been fascinated by. The tobacco warehouse, at the foot of the bridge has long captured my attention. I'm pleased that I can photograph from inside it. For this image, I used a Holga lens with a fisheye attachment on my Canon 5D.

Here are some links to earlier images of the Great Bridge as well as some shots of the tobacco warehouse:

Scooter and Bicycle, Smith Street

Sometimes I wonder whether I'm in Paris or Brooklyn. There are so many scooters on the streets these days.

Cobblestones and Bridge

Here is another from last week's walk. In addition to shooting iPhone images, I limited myself to using the Holga lens on the DSLR. By using the fisheye attachment and placing the camera right on the street I was able to capture the bridge from a different perspective.

Williamsburg Bridge from Brooklyn Bridge Park

Wow! Its been almost two months since I posted to this blog. I never thought that would happen. Rest assured, I've been very busy photographically. I've become enamoured of shooting with my new iPhone and processing the images on the iPad. Since the beginning of 2012 I've posted over 300 hundred images to Instagram. They are slowly making there way to Photoberry (http://photoberry.posterous.com). Here is a link to my Facebook album with the Instagram images: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150471651413546.363809.658198545&...

If you'd prefer to avoid Facebook these days, here is another link to the images: http://web.stagram.com/n/eslieber/

Today's image comes from another photographic journey with Oliver. Julian was taking a playwriting workshop in DUMBO over spring break so I took the opportunity to take the train to drop him off and then walk home taking pictures. Last Wednesday, Oliver came with me and suggested we walk over a bridge or two (Manhattan and Brooklyn.) We did that last Veteran's Day and had a blast. This image was taken below the Manhattan Bridge looking northwest towards the Williamsburg Bridge. As it turns out, its almost a year since I last posted pics taken of the Williamsburg Bridge from East River parks (http://erikslieber.posterous.com/williamsburgh-bridge-from-east-river-state-pa-0 and http://erikslieber.posterous.com/williamsburgh-bridge-from-east-river-state-pa).

Hopefully, more will follow soon. For now make sure you check out the iPhone imagery at the above links.

Birch and Tires

During our visit to Vermont this week, we visited my friend Fran and went sledding down the hill in his yard. While walking around the yard I came across these tires at the foot of a birch tree. I like the juxtaposition of man and nature. The birch is one of my favorite trees to photograph. Maybe its because it translates so well into black and white, as do the tires and the snow.

Here are some other birch images:

Reeds in Snow, Wilmington, Vermont

There may not be any snow in New York, but there is in Vermont. Unfortunately, not as much as the Vermonters of the Mount Snow region would like. Reeds in snow are a favorite subject of mine.
