Looking at the images now, ten years after [...]

Manhattan from Weehawken

A week ago today, coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel and up onto the helix. We had just hit the 14-hour mark but the view back to Manhattan was too stunning not to stop and haul out the equipment yet again.

Music: title score from Scene of [...]

The Gehry Viñoly Symbiosis

By Jon Roemer On 1 Aug ’11 · 2 Comments

This past weekend I was on the Bard Campus in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, and I got a chance to see the Frank Gehry designed Fisher Center for the Performing Arts.

Basic Science & Craniofacial Biology Lab

By Jon Roemer On 1 Aug ’11 · Leave a Comment

Basic science sounds, well, basic. Easy enough to wrap one’s brain around. But craniofacial? It sounds kind of scary in a sci-fi movie way. All I can tell you having visited NYU Dental School’s new Basic Science & Craniofacial Biology Lab is that everything is really really well labeled.

It’s Paramount

By Jon Roemer On 23 Jun ’11 · Leave a Comment

On location yesterday at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens, to photograph co-founder Susan Benedetto. Across the street? In all its glory, Kaufman Astoria Studios, once home to Paramount Pictures, when Astoria was the center of filmmaking in the 20′s and early 30′s.

Danger

By Jon Roemer On 19 May ’11 · 2 Comments

Playing catch-up a bit. Here’s the fourth video in the series documenting the construction of my new studio/office. It was shot last fall as the trim work was being done. It’s so green at the moment that it’s nice to see some fall colors.
