Rockefeller Center is an absolute gem and model of the Art Deco craze in the early 20th century. We were in NYC in Oct. 2010 and caught a weekend when there was open house at many iconic locales. I couldn't get enough of the glitzy interior of Rckefeller Center -- even something as mundane as the exit doors.
Welcome/Willkommen!
Hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy the images I have posted. Please do not reproduce them without my permission. Most are available as note/greeting cards or as prints/enlargements. Thank you for visiting my site and your comments.
Many have asked about the Header image above, which I named 'Eerie Genny'. It was originally shot with film [taken on the shore of the Genesee River near the Univ. of Rochester]. During the darkroom development, I flashed a light above the tray. The process, known as 'solarization', produces eerie, ghostlike effects; some have mistaken this image as an infra-red photo. Some 35+ years later, I scanned and digitized the print, and did a little modern day editing, and, voila.

Rockefeller Center Exit Doors [Sunday Stills: Doors and Doorknobs]

Wow, great job, love the lighting, it took me a minute to get whole scene.
This photo is crazy! I love that it made me look three times, it totally reflects the Art Deco thing you talk about. Nice.
Nice choice for Sunday Stills Challenge, very artsy. :)
Just the opposite of the doors I posted. Beautiful shot!
Beautiful shot. How ever did you manage to find this area empty of people?
Really nice capture! Beautiful reflections too!
And those are "just" the exit doors? Wow. I expect Fred and Ginger to enter stage right. :-)
Very nice stan I like it.
Thanks all for your nice comments -- the lobby area is so beautiful, you could give a monkey a camera and it would come up with a good shot! LOL
hi Lee, Well, I was at a side door--
Lovely! The reflections on the polished ceiling almost look like water and for a moment I thought the photo was upside down!
Thanks for the nice comments. Wow, I love the entry way --it has been a LONG time since I've been there so I didn't really remember what it was like. Great shadows, reflection, and lots of glitz! Have a great week. Mickie:)
great idea! Love the look from the inside, looking out.
