Recently,
I was shooting an interior office space for a client. The building
was in Midtown, and as usual, I was there afterhours when everyone
had gone home.
The office space was in one of the wedding cake buildings common in
the '60s in New York--meaning that zoning laws required setbacks at
different heights making the tower taper as it went up. One of the
setbacks was on my floor forming a wraparound terrace.
Sometime after midnight I stepped out on the terrace, and to the southwest
could see Rockefeller Center still fully lit with the spires of St.
Patrick's Cathedral in the foreground..
I brought my view camera out and made the photograph shown here--famous
New York icons seen from an unusual, but compelling, angle
