Description
Colorized photo from 1941 Dec
Original title: Elevated structure and buildings, Lower Manhattan
Photographer: Arthur Rothstein
Location: About 40 Water St. NY
I really liked the look of this, while the buildings weren't famous, didn't have a historical interest, I liked the look. You are looking into the city in this large opening. And while I did like the perspective tilt of the buildings, the leaning in made them appear larger... my OCD couldn't stand the slant and I corrected it anyway.
But I was worried I wouldn't find the colors, I could have guessed at them and no one would be the wiser. But as it happens, another photographer shot this exact same scene, from nearly the same location (the Vietnam park). But his picture was shot in color, so I luckily had the exact colors of almost everything. But in his picture there was a giant yellow umbrella that sat over the entire lower right half blocking my view of everything.
And while I thought I would luck out with the ad's, those were different as that image was about 6 months before or after this was shot. The ad in here has a lady wearing a coat, and in the other one, a plain shirt to match the weather.
