DESCRIPTION:
“Stunning aerial photos show a side of New York you’ve never seen.”
Included are such iconic places as Central Park and Times Square, new landmarks such as the High Line and the September 11 Memorial, One World Trade Center and other additions to the exclusive list of the world’s tallest buildings, and intriguing sites throughout the five boroughs. Open—but what makes his photographs special is their surprising intimacy, as they capture New Yorkers going about their lives in their remarkable city.. Shooting in all seasons and from dawn to dusk, Steinmetz captures the thrilling complexity and romance of 21st-century New York, with its new skyline and waterfront landscape, dazzling contemporary architecture and historic buildings—along with parks and streets and rooftops used for every possible purpose, and the massive infrastructure that keeps it all going. Steinmetz records some of the city’s beloved traditions—such as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, the New York marathon, and the U.S

George Steinmetz is a fabulous photographer! He has done such a wonderful job of displaying images of historical landmarks from the air. I am quite impressed with his dedication in composing these pictures. He paid $500 an hour to go out in a small helicopter to take these images. As any great artist, he paid attention to shadows and light to make this a masterpiece of New York Live! Each picture is spellbinding in it's own context. In some ways, it is a history boo
