The "Different Views " series are an
attempt to offer a different photographic perspective of famous New
York landmarks. Through a selection of images from the archives, the
landmark is shown fully integrated in its urban environment. An
alternative to the classic touristic landmark representation.

| This postcard was sent to me from NYC by my parents in the summer of 1977 as I was in vacations in the south of France. It is probably part of the many things that made me want to move to New York once I became old enough! |
Every one of these is fantastic. I only experienced them as a child but I'll never forget their presence. But what I really want and would pay a small fortune for is a shot of the Twins from Sheridan Square in the Village, or really anywhere along 7th Ave through there. That's the perspective on the twins I remember most.
ReplyDeleteGreat Photos
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing photos! I felt like I was right back in that time. You have a great eye. Wonderful blog by the way. You have a new subscriber.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully captured images. Great job!
ReplyDeletehope to see more of your work :)
I only got to see the twins once with my own eyes when I took a greyhound from texas to long island, ny to visit relatives. We stopped over in Manhattan for over three hours. That was back in summer 2000.
ReplyDeleteI'm disgusted at the weak, plastic-looking sky-window s*$& they erected in the twins place.
Would love to see photos of the towers from an apartment building.
