No. 187 | North Atlantic Coast | ME

The coast of the Atlantic in Maine was so peaceful and quiet it made me feel like I was staying on a lake rather than an ocean. Everything about it reminded me of sleepaway camp.

No. 186 | Density Acclimation | NY/ME

It always ends up being tougher than you anticipate to come back to the pace and density of New York City when you’ve been away for even a short period of time. Especially when you come back from a place where the only thing that blocks your view of the natural landscape is a decorative metal fish.

No. 185 | Daylight | NY

Our office closed early tonight for the holiday weekend so I headed to Brooklyn Bridge Park for a photo walk. The sky was amazing. I would take so many more photos if I could leave work every day while the sun was still out.

Maine tomorrow, landscapes coming soon. Happy holiday.

No. 184 | Contrast | CA

I like this image because it’s 75% disturbing moire pattern, and 25% pretty landscape.

This was taken in Pomona, CA at the Morphosis designed Diamond Ranch High School, so that’s a corrugated metal clad shard cutting through this view.

No. 183 | Last Bit of Light | NYC

Taken from the water at 200mm right before the sun crept below the horizon.

No. 182 | Empire State | NYC

Taken while sailing on the Hudson.

No. 181 | Afarin & Amir | NYC

My good friends Afarin and Amir recently got engaged and asked me to take some portraits to mark the occasion.

These are two tilt-shift outtakes taken in the West Village and from the highline.

No. 180 | Choppy Waters | NYC

As I’ve mentioned before, I like watching water. I think I probably should just start a fuckyeahwater blog. Or maybe I’ll make a book out of them. Either way, you guys seem to like them and I like making them.

This time it’s the choppy Hudson river taken from a sailboat that a couple of my friends and I got to take out on Friday to watch the sunset. It was a great time and I have some good shots of Manhattan coming out of my editing queue.

No. 181 | Dropping In | NJ

Taken during part of a Navy Seal demonstration at an air show in NJ.

No. 180 | Postcard Shot | NYC

Left work early tonight to go sailing with some friends out of North Cove Marina. Views of NYC and the statue of liberty from the water while having a few beers can never be a bad thing. Such a good Friday night.

Just a preview, plenty more to come.

No. 179 | WTF, Hawaii | HI

For some reason, almost every gas station on the East side of the big island had some sort of beat up old Mercedes in it’s lot.

No. 178 | Memorial | NYC

Select images from my waterfall series taken at the World Trade Center Memorial site. The two footprints of the former twin towers are now each the largest man-made waterfalls in North America.

Shot with a 45mm tilt shift and 70-200mm. Full series here: http://jameschororos.4ormat.com/wtc

No. 177 | Twilight | NYC

This is the IAC Headquarters. The building was designed by Gehry Partners and I took this from the highline during “the blue hour”.

No. 176 | Free Fall | NJ

This shot was taken right after this pilot stopped free falling and regained control of his plane as part of a stunt in the Atlantic City air show. Taken at 200mm.
