…with a little photo manipulation…<\/p>\n

\"City<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have checked out my Flickr photostream<\/a> which is mostly a mixed bag of crap that interests me at the moment, you’ll see in a number of the photos there that I love perspective and lines of convergence. If I happen to see something that catches my eye and there are no busybodies gawking at that fella takin’ pitchers<\/em>, I’ll grab out my camera for a quick snapshot or two. This was one of those times when I came out of the subway and was walking around City Hall when I saw this corner of that incredible building that I thought would fill a frame nicely.<\/p>\n
