59th Street Bridge

Shot using my 4x5 pinhole camera made from black matt board, gaffers tape and good brass shim w/ a 37.5 mm focal length. I am almost directly under this bridge which completely filled my unaided field of vision.

That's pretty cool. You were probably standing pretty close to where I was once hassled by some dude from the ConEd station there, who told me it was a "restricted area" (a public street) and photography was "not allowed."
 
Thanks for looking and the feedback.

I was next to the worlds greatest dog run about 2 blocks north of the spot where we were both hassled. Not only do the Con Ed guys bother you on the Manhattan side but they hassle you on the Queens side as well.
 
Fantastic, Victor! I love this. You used the light fall off very well to lead the eye into the frame along the bridge. And the printing is just superb!
