Captured with Phase One XT IQ4-150 and the Rodenstock 23mm/5.6 HR-Digraron, a sharp ultrawide angle that accommodated just enough shift movement to compose this frame. Captured from the now-shuttered Gramercy Park hotel, on a fittingly grey and joyless winter day.
The wide angle and high, single point perspective emphasize the dominance of the private, locked park's local footprint. Rather than creating public space, it seems to elbow us aside.
@[email protected] when did they shutter the Gramercy Park? We stayed there probably around 2012ish moving my daughter into NYU's Gramercy dorm.
@[email protected] It was just closing up in 2020. Didn't survive the pandemic.
@[email protected] ah, if memory serves me, interesting neighborhood.
