With so many people posting pics on here, I'm surprised that there haven't been more chance meetings.

...we (anyone with the desire or interest) should organize and hold "photo walks" -- great way to learn or augment photography skills, meet new people who are passionate about our city, and have a great time!

There have, I've met tons of people from this site, plus go way back with Steve, Doug, and Urban Pioneer, and to a lesser extent Pete and ODG and Patrick.

We haven't met. :-(

An update from my NW viewpoint - 138th and Penn - seems like it goes higher by the day now. On a clear day you can notice the glass high enough that it doesn't look like dark silhouette. At night it is much more prominent. Last night I also could catch a glimpse while on the ramp from Kilpatrick to Hefner Pkwy.

I was toying around on the architects website and viewing the 2 night shots back and forth, it seemed that the crown will be lit the same way as the inlets. Does anyone know if this is correct? I had seen the two shots before but the way they flipped back and forth on their site made me see it more than posted renderings.

...Thunder, are you one of the people who always asks me for money as they walk by?

I can't help but hang around the Colcord and compose it with the new tower. I stood around there on the East side for a while today. I wasn't trying to film into your window if you were worried.

Although I work with a front row seat to the construction, I actually have very little time to look out the window. When I do, I see people walking around taking pictures every time. I'm sure I've seen a few OKCtalkers but didn't know it.

Took this photo a few days ago. (:
I'm speechless about how much Devon Tower has already transformed the image of downtown Oklahoma City.

I drive by Devon Tower everyday on my to work, and every time it seem to be more elegant than the day before. Its massive and astonishing, and didn't realize how one building can change the skyline so much. When completed it will indeed be one of the most iconic skyscrapers in the nation.

We need OKCTalk shirts

Yup. Pete can set up with CafePress. First have the members submit designs then vote for a winner. Maybe the top 3 designs to be chosen, so people have a choice to pick when buying one. Profits go to Pete for the site costs.

I bought a polo shirt back when they were available, but don't think I have it anymore.

I hope kinggober doesn't mind but I grabbed one of his old photos and used a little magic learned in another thread and create a model of the Devon Tower early in construction.

[kinggober]

Nope I don't mind. Looks awesome!

[Mike63]

Makes it look like a model. Was that photoshop?

Yes it is Photoshop

I'm not so much concerned about the facade of the other buildings as much as I am about the height. The Devon tower really is going to look, and already does look, out of place in the skyline. It is so wide and will be so tall. Everything else looks tiny. We really need some more height and width going into the skyline to balance it out.

The John Hancock dwarfs all around it too, but it looks fine. Go have a drink at the Signature Club there and you'll see that you look 'down' on the roofs of many a pretty good sized building(s).

Not good like UnF, but here is a picture from Bass Pro Shop I was there to pick up something I wanted badly but this guy "forgot" to pick them up and deliver to me... :-(

I dunno why the camera just love to make it look farther out than it really is.



From different views, the tower still jumping higher than Chase, then lower than Chase. Its annoying.

Thunder what do you expect from a Kodak FunSaver camera?

Its actually the Samsung Exclaim. And, yes, I did zoom in as much as I could. That is the closest shot right there. Sorry. :-(

It is very exciting to see OKC grow! I am amazed at the transformation taking place, thanks for taking time to take pictures and share them.The park is going to be an awesome addition and project 180 is also going to be transformative. I really gush with pride when I see whats happening in OKC

A 250 ton crawler crane was set up today to begin removing tower crane 4, possibly starting tomorrow.

[Thunder]

I like that picture! It shows the tower being pulled to the supermoon. :-D
