Joseph Holmes: West Forty Third Street


The above photograph is Joseph Holmes' West Forty Third Street. This image, taken in July 2009, shows a modern look at New York City but at a different angle The viewer's perspective, the yellow line of New York taxis snaking their way across the bottom, the towering apartments overlooking their progress, and the few friends enjoying their day on the roof deck garden all come together to create a picture that moves in your mind.

  2. Now that's what I call a great picture. I've got a roof deck garden, too, by my view is so much less interesting.

  8. I'm stuck with this weird feeling. It's like when I want to go to a party and I shouldn't, but I eventually will? It's.. kinda like that. I like it, so, I like the picture.
