Tom Rupolo/Urban Landscape Photography's photostream  

A former nature photographer, I moved to Brooklyn 15 years ago and have since focused on photographing urban landscapes. Although I photograph what is primarily a man-made environment, I enjoy the variety found in the colors, shapes, and the many curiosities that surround me, as well as the contrasts created by nature's insistient way of reclaiming its turf.

I just moved from the Red Hook/Carroll Gardens area to South Park Slope. I now have a whole new neighborhoor to explore and photograph.

My work has been featured in New York/New Jersey Trail Conference publications, Baltimore Magazine, The Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway slideshow presentation, many blogs such as Brownstoner, Gowanus Lounge, Brooklyn Heights Blog, Manhattan User's Guide, and more. One of my photos was used on a wine label bottled in Hudson, NY.

I like this quote quite a bit:
"Your pictures describe a life that seems both gregarious and contemplative. Good stuff, it reminded me that somewhere in the world, not far from my door, people are making long and brief lists of their lives that if ever that accounting slips from the maker's hand it will inform the fortunate discoverer that they are not alone on this path we're following." - Ken Brown
