I spent a wonderful evening with my oldest daughter and generally I try to avoid the crowds that gather in the crossroads of the world, i.e. Times Square but my daughter had to stop at her daytime place of employment which is there in Times Square. Very proud of my dear daughter and while I waited for her I snapped off some frames, always interesting to see how the former Longacre Square evolves, certainly many more displays since my last time there, another skyscraper in the location of a theater, though my daughter tells me the new edifice will include a theater. Obviously, the year on the New York Times tower which hasn’t housed the Times in a very very long time has the year 2022 as the new year was three weeks away. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist @iloveny @timessquarenyc #omd #microfourthirds #micro43
Loved this revisit! From my first visit to NYC.
As part of my #ProjectBuriedTreasure, this is the picture I took that the results made me feel like a photographer for the first time. Some images for each of us seems to be iconic to your portfolio in a way.
Since I took this picture in 2005, I have upgraded cameras three times, gotten better lenses and switched brands, and of course a lot more skilled at editing. So what better way to share than an updated view!

Times Square New Years Eve 2011
Each year during the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square in Manhattan New York City a time ball made by Waterford Crystal and electric lights is raised to the top of a pole on the One Times Square building at 6:00 pm and then lowered to mark the coming of the New Year. The ball descends 77 feet (23 m) over the course of a minute coming to rest at the bottom of its pole at midnight, then a sign with the digits of the new year lights up as the ball's lights turn off. Toshiba's Times Square billboard directly below the ball counts down to midnight as well.
Every year up to one million people gather in Times Square to watch the ball drop and an estimated 1 billion watch the video of the event, 100 million of them in the United States.
In 1904 The New York Times opens its new headquarters on Longacre Square (the city's second tallest building) and persuades the city to rename the triangular "square" for the newspaper. Owner Adolph Ochs initiates a massive celebration in the square for New Year's, which is so popular 200,000 came it permanently displaces the celebration from Trinity Church. There is no ball, but there are fireworks.
1907 Walter F. Palmer chief electrician for The Times creates the first New Year’s Eve Ball in response to the behest of publisher Adolph Ochs to create some kind of spectacular midnight show that would draw attention to the Square. The New Year’s Eve Ball first descended from a flagpole at One Times Square constructed with iron and wood materials with 100 25-watt bulbs weighing 700 pounds (320 kg) and measuring 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter. At first it dropped 1 second after midnight.
In 2011 the tradition continues here is a look at Times Square New York City on December 31st 2010 New Years Eve for the big 2011 ball drop celebration.
