I have been working hard updating my site. Most of my images are now 25% larger. I have also edited some of the work and added several new sections. New piece in Imaginary Wars series, The Invaders.

harlan erskine, Beijing cityscape, Olympics, 2008
After shooting the "I'm a PC" Microsoft campaign, I traveled to China to experience the Olympic games in Beijing. I was amazed with the visual ecstasy of Beijing and the blossoming of Chinese culture and power. I was also struck by the many contradictions and mysteries that were rapidly evolving right as they were hosting the Summer Games. The images that are up on my site are only a sampling of the larger body of work. More will be added soon.
harlan erskine. Midtown Past Midnight.
During the first year of grad school, I set out photographing the structures of midtown New York. This project carried me through the year. I must have ventured out to photograph close to 20 times. I arrived in midtown around midnight and shot for several hours. The lobbies of these structures are contrived to communicate the marriage of space and structure.
