“Elmira’s Flat Iron Eulogy”

This past year I haven’t gone out and done much “fun” shooting…. shooting stuff just for the hell of it. Just didn’t feel it. Well today was my day to break out of my “Covid-19 Coma”
21 years ago when I was scouring old Elmira, looking for some Grand Old Warehouse where I wanted to locate my soon to be New Studio, this building immediately caught my eye. It was so unique, and could have been a really neat Studio setting, but even in 2000 the place was way beyond repair, that is unless you had a Million Dollars to pump into it. So needless to say I moved on & found and rented my first home just around the corner at 352 State Street before buying my current 211 Studio Building here in Horseheads.
So after seeing all the recent, advanced deterioration of the Flatiron’s roof & upper bricks & the rest of the decay that was destroying this unique Elmira structure, and then learning that it’s days were soon to be numbered, I made my trek downtown to put this Grand Old Lady to Photographic Sleep!
Enjoy, and remember to click on images to enlarge to full size!
PS: if anyone from the City of Elmira or Chemung County DPW sees this, (I believe you guys will be tearing it down) please message me. I want to ask you a question before this building gets hauled away brick by brick to the eternity landfill. Thanks!

Picture Time Again!

It’s been a few years since my friends Dr. Eunice & Hector have been in to the 211 Studio for a shoot. Well, Eunice got a few new dresses since then, and we all know what that means! And Hector, I Really gotta have THAT JACKET, to wear when I go tooling around in my Xtreme Purple Wrangler!!!

Precious Ruby…

Yesterday I had the pleasure to spend a few hours catching up with Rebekah & Rick, whose Wedding I shot back in October of 2016.
Seems they added a fresh, new face to the gang since the last time I saw them!

Meet Moose!
