I was trying to get a shot of the gold building reflected on this polished stone when someone set down their Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) bag. At first I was a little annoyed but then I remembered that I'm not the only one in NYC and I had to adapt quickly to changing photo opportunities. So I decided that the MoMA bag would be part of the photo. At the time, I didn't know the name of the reflected building but after a little research I discovered that it is called The Crown Building formerly the Heckscher Building and coincidentally in 1929 it became the first home of The Museum of Modern Art. :-) The Museum moved to its current location in 1939.
I hope you (Americans) had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and I hope everyone has a great weekend!
fantastic image James, wow!

Great shot, James. I'm glad you decided to leave the bag in, with the history, it's a good design element.

Actually, the bag helped put things into perspective, size wise anyway. The overall reflection is wonderful and love that you added the information. It makes it more meaningful. Beautiful shot ...
