Niedermeyer in snow

I think I was initially attracted by the graceful curve of the stairway to the old Niedermeyer Hotel.  The interplay between the rigid linearity of the iron handrail and the delicate, playful curvature of the concrete forms flanking the edges was something that demanded my attention.  I've tried to photograph this stairway before, but was unable to do it any justice until it was nearly covered in snow. 

Glenn's Cafe

Glenn's Cafe, when its neon still illuminated the curtained, second floor windows of The Missouri Press Clipping Bureau, on the northwest corner of Ninth and Cherry.  Glenn's old space is now home to Kaldi's...I'm not sure what happened to the Missouri Press Clipping Bureau.  The non-conformist graffiti and the shadow-casting tree were here for many years before this corner got renovated.

Broadway Diner by 67

Tony Irons photographing the Broadway Diner with a Pentax 67...during one of the warmer nights last week.  I think Tony has posted a few of his night shots at his blog, www.ironsinternational.com/blog.  As soon as Matt starts a blog, we can look at some of his night shots as well.
