I brought my camera with me today on 9/13 for the primary reason of taking shots of the new 7 WTC but I did get more pictures here and there. Here goes a Midtown and Downtown scattering of pics...

Around 10 AM or so, after getting out the 34 st. station, the ESB was standing tall, I couldn't resist a shot of it...

I was walking down toward 23 st., here goes the Flatiron and it's surroundings:

Later on after class during a break, yes, it's the great Lexington Ave canyon:

Can you guess what building is behind the trees?

Then I went Downtown during my other break, let me just put all the 7 WTC pics that I posted already in the WTC forum in here together too:

I thought it would be slimmer, it's pretty bulky:

I've been kind of pissed at myself for not taking enough Woolworth Building pictures, so I took a couple this time, here's one:

I couldn't see shit because of the sun while taking this picture, I just pressed the button and figured whatever it took, it took. This is what it took, not bad I'd say...

Let's end this with a beauty:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/3188/24042004_0913Image0028.JPG

Possibly your best pics yet! :okay:

i know that the Deustche Bank Building is gonna go away, but how are they doing it?

another stash of good pics! ur one lucky man jack, to be so close to the best skyline in the world and even visit it during breaks from classes...

those new 7 wtc pics are so awesome. really shows how it mirrors the old one in overall shape. the two's really got the same dominating feel to them, even though one's a parallelogram and the other is a trapezoid. it's just that new 7's more oriented north-south while old 7's more oriented east-west.

construction seems to be speeding up a lot now. let's hope they'll be largely finished with its facade when i get a glimpse of it from liberty state park on new years eve.

the deutche bank's gonna be demolished by what i call "deconstruction", which is taking apart the building piece by piece. they're not gonna implode it. it's too risky and no building close to its height or taller has ever been demolished that way. well, the building looks like it's just standing there abandoned. did demolition on it start yet?

wow great series Jack; I gotta say that I like that 'new' facade of 7WTC a lot!
only 3 more weeks and then I will see all this for myself! :D :) :okay: :cool:

Cool pics, some of your best! The sharp corner of 7WTC will look like the one on Kista Science Tower you know? ;)

Amazing pics! keep posting those!

great collection of pics.

massive, i love down town

great pics! They were all superb, but I loved most this one:

the 7WTC with the fence, I have no idea why I like it.

Nice Hilton Millennium shots!

great work!!! wonderful pics!! i wish i could do a photo marathon in nyc! ;)

was in nyc five years ago and can't wait to get there once more!

:applause: :master: Outstanding Jack! Out of all the images you've taken since I've been around ...these take the cake.....the intro shots of ESB and Chrysler are :okay:..esp the Flatiron shot ...thats gotta be my favorite....one of the best artistic surrounding style photos of Flatiron I've ever seen. Followed nicely by things to come, and the classic Woolworth building....kudos and thanks once again for sharing! :cheers:

Thanks all, I think I'm getting better at this picture taking business! :D

wow those pictures are so cool! I want to live in NYC :)

I've seen them all, but you can never have enough of them anyway.

new york has so much diversity, its amazing. One street your in chinatown and on the other your in like a completly different area of town.

Great pics. I'm glad there finally going to take down the Deustche Bank building. It's been a major eye sore
