About the Item
This is a long lens selective focus shot of a "Pigeon Party" atop one of Manhattan's many wood water towers. Like all of Funk's street photography, he designs his pictures with the compositional precision of a studio photo. Here the water tower's pyramidal structure establishes a central point of focus. A non-pigeon crowns the pyramid's point to punctuate the image. Subtle changes in hue from warm greys to warm browns suggest the natural play of overcast light on the birds. Their red feet act in counterpoint to the overall desaturated grey palette.
This archival color photograph by fine art photographer Mitchell Funk is signed, numbered 3/15, dated and titled and lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later. This work is printed on fine art Hahnemuhle paper.
Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? Mitchell Funk says yes. He brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting and design to found subject matter. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum. Brooklyn Museum, show "Images en Couleur" . 1971 Included he was included in the visionary book "Frontiers of Photography" Time Life. Color ! American Photography Transformed. Amon Carter Museum.

Impressionist Cityscape, "North Park Tower 3"
Located in San Diego, CA
I love this tower. I first painted it as far back as 1994 when I worked mainly in watercolors. I’ve known it for over 30 years. I played in a soccer league there and attended a workshop, and I even witnessed a dear friend propose to his future wife under it.
There’s an urban legend it was named “Lionel” by local schoolchildren in the 1950s.
