I added this print to the NEW PRINTS section.
Trying to get out of the rain, I stepped into the Chrysler Building lobby. It was cool - dark - like a beautiful tomb. I approached one of the lobby guards and asked if they had any tours - that it would be great to go up to the top of the building.
He told me: no tours. And nothing to see up there anyway.
Was he blind. Even the lobby was a pre-modern masterpiece like the Sistine Chapel. Walk in there sometimes and just look at how it is softly lit - as if a chapel to what was once modern. A chapel to progress.
When I stepped back out - I saw the reflection of the Chrysler building in the new-fangled (probably 1960-ish) building and snapped this shot. I mean - just that - snapped this and walked out grumbling about the "no tours" business. How blind can people be?
