NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Midday found me in midtown on my way to a lunch date. Here’s one of my favorite spots, the plaza in front of the Seagram Building.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This from the very early evening on Park Avenue. The sculpture is newly-installed. I don’t have any information on it but I’ll keep looking and revise this post accordingly. Of course the background is Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, one of the icons that I stalk. The perspective is from the front door of the Racquet and Tennis Club.
Shot with a Hasselblad H3D 39 and an HC 100 lens. Three exposures stitched. This produces a very large file.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Fabulous late afternoon light in midtown, with light reflected from buildings adding nuance. I’m shooting with my backup Leica, and M8.2, because I left my M9 at Gary and Diana’s the previous evening (symptomatic of wine consumption). I had a number of good images to choose among. This is Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Seagram building – part of my effort to do a new take on iconic structures. I have an ongoing project on the Seagram building and the plaza formed by it and the Racquet and Tennis Club (McKim Mead and White) and Lever House to the northwest (the “Hello Kitty’s” come from there). Image taken with my M8.2 and a 90mm lens – three images stitched in Photoshop.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – My meetings are at Park Avenue and 53rd Street so I managed to commune with my old friend Hello Kitty for a few minutes. You will remember from previous posts that Hello Kitty is Tom Sach’s statue in the sculpture garden at Lever House. See March 19 blog entry and April 20 blog entry. There may be enough going on at Lever House to make a project out of it.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – A foggy rainy day on Park Avenue. All links fixed.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – 12 11 Park Avenue. Limited time spent shooting today – most of my day was spent diagnosing and fixing the causes of this blog’s crash. I think I have it sorted out, but the fix breaks the link to the photo in every post (there are now more than 180 of them) so I have to repair every link manually. I’musing this as an opportunity to apply what I’ve learned in the past six months on indexing and key words, so the process is time consuming.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Well here we are back at Tom Sach’s statue, Hello Kitty, in the sculpture garden at Lever House. This is a real urban oasis As I’ve noted elsewhere Hello Kitty is a Japanese toy character owned by Sanrio. Here’s a link: Sanrio
