It sounds ludicrous to say that I stumbled upon one of New York City’s iconic buildings, but that’s how it felt. I was part of a group taking a photo walk around the city, and had no idea we were near the Flat Iron building until we were standing in front of the pointy end of it. I wanted to record it in some way, but was a loss how to do that under the circumstances. Fortunately a woman stopped at just the right time and in just the right place, and the image was made.
Olympus OMD EM1 with 12-40mm f2.8 lens.

Great shot! I think the Flatiron is hard to shoot … but you managed to do it well.

Thank you! Part of the challenge of photographing an icon like this is showing it in a fresh way. Sometimes you get lucky.

Wow, outstanding composition! It’s cool how the woman creates a visual offset to a otherwise centered framing.

Great image, Steven. And you’re right, that woman makes the image. Sometimes you just have to have patience, a trait I still need to learn.

Thanks. Sometimes all one can do is be present when a photograph makes itself.

Awesome image Steven 🙂 I’m surprised I didn’t notice you taking this image that day. We should do it again when the weather gets warmer. Great work.
