After getting in trouble for making photographs within the Rockefeller Center Plaza, I walked around to 630 Fifth Avenue and made this image which includes St Patricks Cathedral. Apparently tripods are not allowed within the plaza. I was able to get a few more images by just carefully leveling and balancing my camera on my backpack. No tripod, no problem.
I approached this subject several times to find the right light and to beat the morning rush hour pedestrians. I like how, even though Straight Up, the Flat Iron still holds its characteristic and detailed wedge.
All I can say is Pastrami sandwich…best in the city. And who hasn’t seen “When Harry Met Sally”
This is the first image I made in the Straight Up series which affirmed the project.
There is a peregrine falcon in this image, can you find it? It’s abstract.
