While living in NYC in the early 2000's, I made the acquaintance of (and later became friends with) a man who lived in a luxury apartment on the same block as the Empire State Building.
Before long, a discussion regarding our professions arose, and I mentioned that I was a photographer.
"Really?", he asked. "Then you absolutely must com eup to my place sometime and take a few photos. You'll love the view."
As he suggested, one evening, I did.
This it the photo I took.
