A blend of digital colouring and enhancement along with touches of sepia toning were used in this one to give a sense of the timelessness of Times Square, of the great span of its years in history. From the old New York of the Rockefellers, the Carnegies and the Mellons to Apple, iPhones and Instagram Times Square is probably one of the greatest indicators of the human pulse over the decades since it's initial construction.
Time, space and singularity of perception are broken up, or, made simultaneous with several others. As we approach the Quantum Age, non-singularity of view, simultaneity and indeed, non-locality will increasingly become our ways of seeing.
I took my inspiration for the colouring of this image from the work of Paul B0udreau, whose unique art always boggles my mind.

Music Link: "Stratus", Billy Cobham. From his album "Spectrum". This is a live, tour de force piece of Jazz wizardry performed by Cobham and his band, featuring some strangely appropriate, brilliant steel drum playing by his percussionist. "Stratus" always felt to me like music for a BIG city.

Internationally, the Italianate style saw an application of stylized Classical elements in regularized patterns, generally of cast iron, applied to commercial or high density urban settings. In New York State , Italianate designs can be found on almost any 19th century main street. Mass-produced window surrounds using exaggerated cornices, capitals, triglyphs, and metopes were applied to façades of commercial and residential buildings.
