The challenge is Urban life: Buildings, People, Scenes
The idea is to show interesting buildings and urban scenery but also people living in and enjoying their environment. I have a few to get it started but I am confident that there will be submissions that will easily put mine to shame.
See all y'all tomorrow.
These are scenes from Manhattan, New York City. I have many more negatives but lack a negative scanner these days. The Pan Am (now Metlife) Building is one of the most unusual landmarks, because it spans Park Avenue and the Grand Central Railroad station tracks, so it has no basement. All the equipment (boilers, AC, etc.) normally under the building is installed on the upper floors. The Grand Central Station also spans Park Avenue. I shot the NY Subway cover on assignment for Exide Power systems, to illustrate an article I wrote for them.
