Most tourist shops sell pictures of New York City
landmarks, but it’s difficult to find images of “mundane” items that
would be spectacular in most other cities: pedestal clocks, elaborately
wrought entrance porticos, bay windows on brownstone facades, turrets,
cornices, phalanxes of skyscrapers. The photos on this CD capture a
remarkable combination of creativity and technical skill, from the
detail on a 19th-c. wrought-iron fence to the towers of Midtown.
The images were snapped over the past few years in
Manhattan and the Outer Boroughs. New Yorkers, justifiably wary of
canine mementos and buckling pavement, are not in the habit of looking
upward, but most of these photos came from doing just that - hence the
CD’s title “The Upward Glance.”
