Tulsa, Oklahoma Skyline from Lookout Mountain (Red Fork Hill), June 12, 2015.
Forty-eight years after setting up my primitive (by today’s standards) Yashica J-5 SLR equipped with a 90-230mm f4.5 Yashinon zoom lens, to make an image of Tulsa’s skyline on black and white film, I returned to the same Lookout Mountain vantage point with a 36 megapixel Nikon D810 DSLR equipped with an 80-200mm f2.8 ED AF Nikkor zoom lens to make this image of a side-lit Tulsa skyline against a threatening thunderstorm backdrop to the northeast. At the time of the 1967 photograph, economic forces impossible to foresee would drastically change this metropolis in the ensuing years. First, Tulsa’s long dominance of the oil industry was just beginning to wane. Second, the city was on the cusp of a major downtown building boom. Tulsa lost its leadership in the oil industry to far larger Houston in the 1980’s; but, as its economy diversified to aerospace, finance, and technology, the Tulsa skyline continued its upward growth. In this photograph so many new structures, some seen and some not visible from this vantage point, dominate a completely transformed Tulsa skyline. In 1967, Tulsa’s metropolitan statistical area population was just under 500,000, while today this metric stands at just over one million.
