..the first fisheye photo i’ve seen that impressed me most was a shot of this place.. ever since then, i’ve also wanted to shoot it with a fisheye, but i just can’t remember where it was.. turns out, it was close by one of my photo haunts.. on broad & south william street (financial district).. so here it is..
..the international telephone and telegraph (itt) building, a 35-story, 433-foot high tower, was built by buchman & kahn for garment district developer abraham lefcourt as the lefcourt exchange building in 1928. it was almost immedately bought out by itt, who commissioned louis s. weeks to add an addition that dominated the entire block. the southwestern entrance has a mosaic dome depicting commerce uniting the hemispheres with electricity..

looks like a cup with buildings in it lol very cool shot!!
Again excellent very unusual angle GREAT!
Wow! Took some time to understand it… Great picture!
Another really cool shot….love the way the buildings are at the top of the photo.
A very interesting shot that comes off as a strong graphic image even with the buildings.
I like this one very much. Fine image.
Feels like I’m trying to dig out of a hole. Excellent capture!
Awesome, one of my favorites from the moleman series.
Wow…I nearly always say that on your site:-) Love the upper reflection. I see FedX is busy.
Another excellent shot.
ITT! There was a time when Fela sang about that company. And it was violent, it was about murders and plots and coups d’état… Difficult for me to associate such a beautiful building to the company’s turmoils. Let’s say you made a great shot 🙂
feels like falling upwards. very good.
Another great fisheye shot… Well done
Ah yes Rian, I agree we both share a fascination with architecture. Another exceptional image, simply amazing work with such great clarity and tones. Beautifully done.
oh ho ho ho ho… i like that it’s upside down… great placement of the angel. damn. that’s a swell composition.
Dizzinesses in the abyss of marks!! excellent
Wonderful shot.
Very creative but it makes me dizzy 🙂
An excellent shot! bravo
I really like this fish eye image. The division between the beautiful interior of the itt building and the outside view of the city towers is a very creative composition. Excellent exposure balance between inside and out as well.
Rian-This is one fantastic shot. Great fisheye and great depth to this image. Good work. 🙂
I’d like to print this shot a0 size and put it on the ceiling!
hmm.. now that’s a great idea.. 😀
