This award-winning pictorial tribute to the world's most vertical city offers a unique introduction to New York's spectacular architecture, using a vintage panoramic camera tilted ninety degrees. The result is an original and astonishing array of images, accompanied by quotations from some of the city's most ardent and well-known fans.
Annotation: Horst Hamann uses a panoramic camera to take 66 startling black-and-white photographs of the skyscrapers of New York. Observations by Woody Allen, E. B. White, and other artists and writers accompany them.
Praise
New York Times Book Review "Together, the quotations and photographs manage to convey with tension and eloquence the obvious but unavoidable metaphor inherent in such a thematic treatment of New York." - Suzanne MacNeille 03/01/1998
