David N Dinkins Municipal Building

A walk through New York provides countless photographic opportunities. Today's posts will focus on geometry, light, and shadow.

 

Completed in 1914, originally called the Municipal building, it is a 40 story building in the Civic Center neighborhood. This building's current name honors New York's first African American mayor, David Dinkins who served the 1990-1993 term. He was succeeded by Rudy Giuliani.

 

The structure dominating the foreground is the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge.

 

The geometry of the scene caught my eye during our walk to the skate park under the Manhattan bridge. More on that in a future post.
