A view of the Chrysler Building outside of the Gramercy Park Hotel, facing north, peering above an awning hung by two perfectly parallel wires. I find this shot compelling, but in a subtle, delicate way. The building is flawlessly erect; grounded and unmistakable. Intercepted by two striking wires, slicing through it like a quick paper cut to the flesh. They frame our beloved steel icon, unapologetically providing us the lens through which we will observe the building.
