Facundity
Las Vegas | The Strip | Big Apple Surreality
It was both comical and wonderful to see the impressive display of replicas of NYC icons compressed into an enormous city block at New York-New York Casino Resort. The Coney Island roller coaster is next to The Statue of Liberty in front of the Manhattan skyline with skyscrapers from Wall Street and Midtown bumping up against each other, and further north on the sidewalk: a Brooklyn Bridge. I loved NYNY.
I used my wide angle lens to get this all in at the street corner. In the post processing, I didn't have the heart to straiten out the distortions most obvious where skyscrapers appeared to be leaning. There was so much faux in the scene, I let it stay imitation-like. For me, that was part of the fun.
