New York - City In Motion - The Flatiron Building

New Light On A Photographic Icon

The Flatiron Building is one of New York City's most recognizable landmarks. It's been featured in movies, posters, television programs, and in the galleries of painters, illustrators, and famous photographers.

New York - City In Motion - Welcome!

See The World. Differently.

The New York - City In Motion gallery is receiving lots of positive feedback. Thank you everyone for your generous and thoughtful comments.

I have received only one negative comment so far. Someone felt that I was featuring too many taxi cabs in the photos.

I would like to thank that person for their thoughtful observation - I appreciate that they took the time to comment - but I'll have to apologize. I had several reasons for including taxis in many the photos.

First, yellow cabs are a well-known symbol of life in New York City.

Second, the vibrant color of the taxis enhances photos shot in dim light.

And finally - those taxi cabs are everywhere! I'd still be standing out on those street corners if I had to shoot scenes without cabs! Brrr! :-)
