New York City has the most amazing and diverse variety of architectural details in the world. I don't know if that's actually true but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. But if it IS true, it would be because as New York City grew, and grew up, she borrowed from nearly every architectural style from every corner of the civilized world. I chose to render the architectural details in black and white to distill the essence of the shapes, forms and textures of which they are made and to strengthen how they create their own ever-changing world of light and shadow.
