The snow didn't amount to much Wednesday night... but I headed up to the Colonnade during the "storm" anyway. This was at about 8pm.

Arch Rival
I love visiting St. Louis. It's the quickest way to visit an eastern city. Lots of east coast influences along with French and other European architecture.

Inside One Park Place
Since the BMA Tower was converted into condominiums several years ago, I've always wanted to see what one looks like. I got my chance this week. Above and below the north side of the iconic structure at 31st and Southwest Trafficway.
The unit I got to photograph is a two-bedroom. Above the living/dining room and below the entryway.
Above and below, the kitchen. Door on the left above hides the washer and dryer.
Each bedroom has it's own full bath.
Gym, exercise rooms, common areas, and swimming pool included.
Outdoor pool on the right above.
This unit will be listed with Eric B and Associates.

Side Altar, St. Mary's Episcopal Kansas City
St. Mary's Episcopal is one of the oldest congregations in Kansas City. Begun as St. Lukes in 1854 it changed to its current name in 1875. The building housing this side altar was built in 1886. Available light, ISO 6400. And, yes, it has a ghost.

Night In The Bottoms
Nighttime trips to the West Bottoms are favorites of mine. Last night was one such excursion. Below the 12th Street Viaduct with the skyline.. looking east.
Nikon D800. ISO 3200. F56 at a 20th for most shots. Ignored the meter. Going for a Tri-X kinda
look.
Much more activity down there now even at night as more and more people are moving into the newly renovated warehouse spaces. Lofts abound. Never used to see anyone, now, runners, dog-walkers, people sitting on stoops chatting.
I still find the architecture at night enchanting..mysterious. And black and white is perfect to convey
those kinds of emotions.
Above... a tabby adopted me on my trek... stayed with me the whole time I was down there.
Above, alley-glimpse of KC's downtown.
Coffee Shop I just discovered... must give it a try... in daylight.

My Favorite Place ( yet again)
Trying out the new camera. Last new one was five years ago. I like to take the new one and do shoots I've done before to see if operationally things have change much. They haven't... except I have to be much steadier with a higher pixel count. Kauffman Gardens beckoned today. It was suppose to be sunny all day but clouds were the norm when I arrived this morning.
All shots taken with the Nikon D800. Closeups were with the Nikon 105mm Macro, wide angles with the Nikon 14-24mm, and medium shots were with the Nikon 70-200mm. Most all were at ASA 800 to allow for very high shutter speeds as I was hand-holding everything.
Very first picture is multiple images (5) stitched together in Photoshop.
Love the detail in the new camera. It has a 36 megapixel, full-sized sensor which means medium format quality in a 35mm body. It also means it doesn't like camera shake.
Above, a duck dropped in.... literally.
