Browsing articles by Peter - [previous] :: [next]
Built in 1917, this now-abandoned factory once housed the chicle-processing operations for the
Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company
, aka Wrigley's Gum
You can see the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from inside
It even features a nice view of Manhattan in the middle-distance, and Brooklyn to the right,
just across the Verrazano Narrows
Rosebank, Staten Island, New York City...

I know you shot hunnerds on Saturday, but it stll seems like everyone's a best one. Great use of VERY LITTLE light.
Peter: 7th Apr 2009 - 01:30 GMT
i didnt do anything to the photos but resize; it was so eerily overcast the whole time, and im glad to see some of that light (and some of that crazy, stagnant darkness too) made it through pretty accurately. id really like to check this place out in a rainstorm or after a big snowfall. who ever knew staten island had such cool shit laying around?
i shot 206 photos this entire weekend. one for every bone in the human body.

this is SO ironic! i live in rosebank and am obsessed with this community. rosebank has SO many great picture opportunities, i'm really glad someone noticed. i just picked up a lomo Diana to start capturing the area, this really is uplifting!
adam: 7th Apr 2009 - 02:13 GMT
glad you got more (essential) shots than me.. i cant afford to run out memory card space next time ;)
anon (static.unknown.charter.com): 7th Apr 2009 - 05:08 GMT
Fan-TAS-tic shots. Really cool graffiti too.
Rob T Firefly: 7th Apr 2009 - 15:15 GMT
This is a hell of a set! Thanks for sharing them.
I love the fact that someone painted a bright white tooth on the wall of a chewing gum factory.
Sam: Now it is a tetanus factory. Cool pix.
Shaolin Fox: 7th Apr 2009 - 18:24 GMT
Such a waste of space. Great photos [as always] and really enjoyed the art. ;)
GirlsGirlsGirls: quite a great gallery
luna park: props, guys, well done as usual.
Anais NIN: 8th Apr 2009 - 05:41 GMT
Amazing, wow! I'm really glad people like you go out and track-down/brave this sort of thing so that those of us who could/would never get there ourselves can see it.
andy: fuck... staten island is depressing
EvilGentleman: 12th Apr 2009 - 01:44 GMT
Awesome! Nice one Peter!
