True Confessions: This is a straight rip-off of a photo I had seen
earlier in the day at a souvenir stand on Park Avenue near the Metropolitan
Museum. The competitor in me just had to know whether I could do it too.
In fairness, there are only one or two good angles from which to photograph
the Flatiron building. And besides, now I have an image to which <em>I</em>
hold the copyright.
There's something about the wedge that this building cuts out of the
suddenly open New York skyline. A client with whom I was meeting remarked
that the lines described by 5th avenue and Broadway split the city into
sections. The Flatiron building sits at the narrow point of transection,
and demarcates uptown from downtown, East side from West.
