  • Back in 2013 while on assignment photographing the first fully outfitted floor of One World Trade Center I snapped a few images of the city. While the view out over the city was stunning I was much more interested in all of the activity happening just around the "neighborhood." Being able to look down from such a height revealed a world of patterns, shapes, and people scurrying about. It was fascinating.  <br />
It was a dreary overcast day as well and while that may not offer the everyday pedestrian much with regards to experience, photographers love it! It works to considerably benefit the black and white photographer as it gives us large, soft shadows, and a flat negative or file to work with. Black and white images made on an overcast day tend to sound like a somber piece by Mendelssohn. There is a richness and romantic quality which the clouds bestow upon the world.

  • Lever House, designed by Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois (design coordinator) of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and located at 390 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, is a seminal glass-box skyscraper built in the International Style according to the design principles of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Completed in 1952, it was the second curtain wall skyscraper in New York City after the United Nations Secretariat Building. The 307-foot-tall (94 m) building features an innovative courtyard and public space.<br />
<br />
The construction of Lever House marked a transition point for Park Avenue in Midtown, changing from a boulevard of masonry apartment buildings to one of glass towers as other corporations adopted the International Style for new headquarters.<br />
<br />
In 1959, the building's design was copied as the Emek Business Center in Ankara, in 1961 as the Terminal Sud of Paris-Orly, and in 1965 as the highrise of the Europa-Center in Berlin.<br />
<br />
The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1982 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
