Description October 2007


NYC
View from the top of the Empire State building, looking south toward the financial district. In this distance you can just barely make out the Statue of Liberty.

This image is really about the relation of the personal scale to that of the city. You can see in the street scale the occupation of the cars and people in the right, and that is contrasted with the distant sprawling monstrosity that is the urban character of the city. Man-society, part-whole, building-city.

Due to a couple of requests, prints of this image are available, just note me for details or email me at leedykxhoorn at gmail.com. Personally I like this image printed, the internet version doesn't really do it justice at all; when it is larger you can truly appreciate the fine detail in the buildings.

amazing.
it's awe-inspiring at first glance ("we built all that?")...and then it gets...weirdly scary. i think the positioning of the picture has alot to do with that. you could've easily jacked up the contrast to invoke that emotion...but it's almost better just showing the pure image. very well done!
