In Pieces

Sometimes the greatest photographs are complete accidents. I was doing a photo walk around the Financial District and noticed the doorway of the Shell Building. It’s a stately art deco style arch and door. I took a few shots of the doorway itself, then decided to go under the arch to capture some details. When I turned around, lo and behold, the reflection of the Shell Building in the windows of the glass behemoth on the other side of the street was absolutely amazing! Even better, the art deco style of archway created the perfect “frame” for the piece of art in the reflection across the street.
