Can you imagine that the Empire State Building which is sitting tiny on the right side of this photo was the tallest building in this skyline view 10 years ago? The race to reach the sky never ends in the most beautiful city in the world.
The two tallest skyscrapers you see on the left side of the photo are (left) 225 West 57th Street aka Nordstrom Tower or Central Park Tower and (right) 111 West 57th Street aka Steinway Tower. Nordstrom Tower will be the tallest residential building in the US when it`s completed.
And I love finding vantage points in New Jersey to bring regular size homes to the frame. Place them right in front of these multimillion-dollar buildings. It creates a stark contrast between not just the buildings but between normal people and super-rich people. You can easily bring objects that are very far away from each other by using long telephoto lenses. In this case, I used Sony 200-600mm lens.

Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
