Everytime I travel to take photographs, I always hope to get that one photo that makes the whole trip worth it, the one that makes every cent spent to get there, worth the money. That one photo that I look at and go “Wow, that is cool!” Well this photo from my recent trip to New York City was exactly that photo.

I had been telling myself for quite some time that I was going to pay the $25 and go up to the observation deck on the Empire State Building. Partially because I had never seen New York from that perspective, and partially because I wanted to take some photos of the architecture from above. I love black and white architecture and cityscape photographs. The contrast does such an excellent job of defining all the intricacies of the city, and there is something a bit beautifully chaotic about the lines and shapes. Geometry at its finest. Hope you enjoy!
