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.
