I can't afford to go up the high-rises and shoot, so I make due with what I can get on the street. I'd have to go express line if I did since I got ADD and can't stand long lines. And that would cost even more $. Really, am not a big shooter of architecture. I specialize in people, not buildings.
But if something thumbs its nose at me I will shoot it....
Dunno, just how it was that morning. NYC has some great shadows different parts of the day. Was lucky the sky was like that. Didn't realize the sky looked that smooth until PP time.
