Manhattan Looking Up

Chiaroscuro and I had an enjoyable visit to New York. The weather
was clear, spring was in the air, and we didn't have to be constantly
at the conference that brought us to the city. In addition to walking
and taking photos for hours, we went to the recently re-opened
MOMA -- the building and the exhibits were stunning. We also
visited the International Center of Photography, where we saw a
disturbing exhibit of Larry Clark's work. And we visited B&H Photo,
the ultimate candy store for photographers. Amazingly, I didn't spend
a dime, but Chiaroscuro bought a great new lens: a Canon 70-200
f/4 L. (Incidentally, I highly recommend B&H for on-line as well as
in-person purchases.) I'll be posting some additional shots from NY
in the coming days.

Strong composition in this one. The three identical buildings in a row are effective, and the building framing on the right really closes the photo in nicely.

Agreed on B&H - also agreed with Matt on this shot - very striking. I like the tulips too!
Also, thanks for your advice! It turns out that my template settings limit posting images any larger than I have. So I've got to change those before I can jump to 500 pixels.
