Happy Birthday, frankie_ecap!

[rhythmaning]

As many others have commented, today is frankie_ecap’s birthday.



I had the pleasure of seeing her this morning, and so I gave her her birthday presents in person.

As well as a book of photographs of New York buildings, New York Vertical (which contains some stunning photographs taken with an extra-wide angle camera), I gave her two of my own pictures of the World Financial Centre in New York. Ages ago, frankie_ecap told me this was her favourite building in the city, so I searched through my negatives until I found a series of photographs I knew I had somewhere, which I scanned and made a couple of prints. I couldn’t decide which I preferred, so I gave her both…

This building was situated just north of the World Trade Centre, so it seems rather poignant to post pictures of them today.

I had thought that the World Financial Centre had been demolished or collapsed following the attacks of the World Trade Centre, but I noticed the shape of the building in a picture of the New York skyline in today’s paper, and a quick search on Google proves that it is still there.

And of course – Happy Birthday frankie_ecap!
