I thought to share a few photos I took on assignment a few years back and the subject of a book I'm starting. I was hired to document the 'state of being' of the TWA just before JetBlue was to start building its new air terminal around the TWA. I shot 4x5 archival film for the Library of Congress, and then added my own design study in 35mm digital (which are color and b/w in the same digital file). Reality is that its too small to be a terminal. Now in the works is a new hotel to be built adjacent to the original. The original building is Landmarked and can't be destroyed. This is a small portion of my 400 images.

Interesting building. Nice photos. They have sort of a "where am I?" feel.

These are spectacular images, reminds me of Life magazine quality photographs. The angularity perspective of your photos is hard to duplicate these days. Well done.

My idea behind using most of my 400 images for a coffee-table book is to show the place from the many angles the general public can not have access to. Also after working the location for 2 months, my becoming infatuated with architect, Eero Saarinen's design, I wanted to show off his genius.

Cannot remember the many times I flew through that terminal and never stopped to see what you captured. Thanks for posting.

I commend you on this wonderful piece of work your doing. To bad other TWA facilities around the world haven't been documented this well. Most are forever gone. TWA was quite the airline in its heyday, hated to see it go.

Wow! Looks like something out of Woody Allen's Sleeper movie. Cheers.
