Your watermarks are annoying and detract from otherwise nice photos. Try making them MUCH smaller and putting them on the lower right side.

Excellent photos of that old beautiful building, the architecture is fabulous and finishing touches are amazing. I was there as a child in the 50's with my parents. IF, a big if only, they could have saved the Penn Station....so much beautiful architecture was created in the early part of that century in NYC. Cheers Roni and thanks for the memories and beautiful photos..
Thanks so much for your kind words.
I think that is one of the things I love about traveling to Cuba & Italy. The history of the buildings, the architecture, just amazing.

Those images were taken 8 years ago. My watermarks are smaller now. Sometimes on the right side sometimes on the left side, depending on the images.
Thanks for your instructions.

Not instructions, just a comment. I also use the left side upon occasion, but mostly the right. Best of luck.

Roni!
Those were the "good old days" of the LI Photography Meetup group. Even though I live in Manhattan, NYC I joined and attended many of Roni's events and shoots, out on Long Island.
I was also an instructor at Germain School of Photography back in the 80s when the school was located in the Woolworth Building. It was a vocational training school that offered a commercial photography curriculum with a number of tracks. I taught a studio course that used 4x5 film view cameras and involved the setup, shooting and the processing of the exposed film in both B/W and color. The school had a sink line with deep tanks for both B/W and E6 Ektachrome. C-41 and Ektacolor printing was also SOP.
Sometime after the school left the Woolworth Building and relocated near FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in Midtown, the building's lobby was restored and public traffic was restricted. Tours were offered as mentioned by Roni.
Great photos and short history of the building. Be well!

Hey, Ed from NYC. Great to hear from you. I had no idea you were teaching in the building. It is amazing to see the inside.
I have been traveling with Chris L, he runs the NY meetup now.
We were in Cuba & then Iceland together and will be going to Tuscany soon.
Be well my friend.

Roni,
You should try to go to 26 Broadway .
It was the original Standard Oil Building.
It has a similar marble staircase .
While you are downtown 111 & 115 Broadway have gorgeous lobbies

Thanks so much for that info. Charles Pratt was one of the owners of Standard Oil. I live in Glen Cove, one of 2 cities on Long Island and the summer homes of the Pratt mansions.
They are..
Glen Cove Mansion- event center
Killenworth- Russian embassy combound
Poplar Hill- now a nursing home and rehab center
Welwyn- home of the Nassau County Holocaust Museum
Webb Institute- Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, tuition free for students.
These are all Gold Coast Mansions.
