David Ottenstein, “Tomlinson Bridge, New Haven,” 2009, archival pigment ink print
Hull’s Fine Framing & Gallery, One Whitney Avenue
until February 26
Making a genius loci — the spirit of a place — visible, is no easy thing, but David Ottenstein has a gift for it, whether in a bank building on an Iowa main street, or an abandoned power plant in upper New York state. In this local image, even the fog is precise, turning the entire sky into a beacon. This is the way to safety, across heaven’s mechanical bridge.
awesome!
It would be cool if, for pieces like this, NHI published capture format (film 4x5?, digital slr?) and also printed piece paper type and size.
