We left Central Park, wandering around and heading towards FAO Schwarz (when it was still open). This building took our breath away. It’s at the corner of 58th and 7th. I had to google it tonight to get info on it. It’s called the Alwyn Court, and it was built in the early 1900s usingContinue reading “New York or France?”

Straightening buildings
Another beautiful fall day in Central Park. One of the awesome things Lightroom can do is straighten buildings. My 17-55mm lens can distort tall objects, and with buildings, that’s not a good thing.
