Yet another image from my recent trip to NYC...
I had just been visiting my photographer friend Dave Beckerman ( http://davebeckerman.com ) in the East 80's. We had fun talking shop and having a nice dinner sitting outside at a restaurant on First Avenue.
By the time dinner was over, it was about 10 PM, and bedtime was calling me - I was really tired from driving up earlier in the day and lots of foot-powered photography. I bade Dave goodbye and walked north on First Avenue up to 86th Street, just to get the feel of walking around my old neighborhood again.
Back into the hole-in-the-ground at Lexington and onto the Express to Grand Central. At the other end, the subway exit dumped me onto Lexington Avenue across from the Chrysler Building. But since one of my life mottos is, "Never miss a chance to walk through Grand Central," I headed west on 42nd Street to the middle of the block and strolled through the Main Concourse once again. Then up the escalators to the Pan Am... er the MetLife Building and out the doors onto E. 45th Street, where my hotel was just two blocks west.
As I got to Vanderbilt Avenue, I looked to my right and saw this Silver Tower, a new and luminous skyscraper among the older buildings on Park Avenue. I braced myself against the corner of a building, took a breath and let part of it out, crossed my fingers and took a shot.
Finally heading back to my hotel, the end of a very long, and very enjoyable day. My feet were tired but my spiritual batteries were recharged from my day in and around NYC.
(actual exposure 0.8 sec @ f/7.1)
Postscript added Nov 23, 2004: I have since learned that this building is 383 Madison Avenue, also known as the Bear Stearns Building, or Bear Stearns World Headquarters. Completed in 2002. In my humble opinion, it's not nearly as good-looking in the daytime as this photo would suggest.
