Artist Statement

I had been enamored with the sugar refinery in Red Hook far before its fate was decided. The dilapidated framework extending into the water and the iconic cone shape of the silo were both beautiful and sad. Once its demolition began, I took trips to the pier nearby to photograph the progression from disrepair to destruction. I shot several photographs on this unseasonably warm December's day, and merged them together to form a 180+ degree panorama.

Wow, very nice capture! Very poignant, and the stark contrast & sunset work well here!

great panoramic view, not sure if i like the cropping on the bottom.

Stunning effort.

Visually beautiful and very pleasing. The past part of change, I suppose, but painterly in its execution.
