Piece description from the artist
This photo depicts the famous Flatiron building in New York City. I photographed it in the late afternoon using a type of b&w 35mm film that exhibits very pronounced silver particles which make up the image. I find that the texture and imposing stance of the building in my take on this classic work of architecture comment on its timeless authority over the city.
