New York Water
I was photographing for Gibbs & Hill engineering company and made a picture of their view out the window on 32nd St and 7th Ave. ย Later I did an assignment for Geo Magazine on the New York Water Supply System and this picture was included in the story. It seems all NYC buildings over six stories high must install water tanks and use their own pumps to supply water to the building. There are only two companies that make the tanks-Rosenwach and Isaacs.

About Peter Aaron
Peter Aaron has been photographing architecture and interiors for forty-five years. After working for designers Ward Bennett and Joseph dโUrso as they developed their High Tech style, Aaron began a transformational apprenticeship with the great architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. ย He began working on his own after two years, adopting Stollerโs strong compositional approach while developing an individual style through the use of dramatic camera angles, theatrical lighting, and cinematic techniques. ย Since that time, Aaron has photographed structures by many of the most influential and groundbreaking architects of the last thirty years, including Robert A.M. Stern, Rem Koolhaas, Charles Gwathmey, Michael Graves, Peter Eisenman, Robert Venturi, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and Raphael Vinoly.
About his photographic practice, Aaron says, โmy mission is to provide an image thatโs a sort of โPlatonic idealโ of each structure, to show the building as theย architect originally envisioned it. ย Along with considerations of color and contrast, I aim for a certain complexity of composition, oftenย creating several views within each larger picture. ย These mini-frames increase the time it takes the viewer to appreciate the overall design โย the essence of a successful photograph.โ
