DESCRIPTION:
30,000 first printing.. A photographic portrait of New York City includes some 175 full-color photographs, including twelve single and double gatefolds, that capture images of the city, its skylines, architectural monuments, landmarks, and other evocative images
. And given that the book was in preparation a year before September 11, there are monumental pictures of the World Trade Center, captured in more lights and at more angles than many people will conceivably want or need. The light and the weather play starring roles here, as pains seem to have been taken to eliminate people and cars. The shots of more anonymous facade details, lesser known parks, subway stations, and bridges other than the Brooklyn feel fresh. Yet even the most jaded photo connoisseur will find Berenholtz's pictures of Grand Central Station spectacular, and the Times Square and full skyline panoramas breathtaking. Berenholtz (Panoramic New York) does not match 19th-century Paris photographer Eugene Atget's elegant encyclopedism, but his compositions exude the patience and calm needed to get the money shots: the Cloisters, afternoon shadows striping the Metropolitan Museum of Art's solarium, the recently replaced Pla
Pei. By 1984, he had become a professional photographer and, in the past eighteen years, has had three photography books published in five languages. Richard Berenholtz graduated from Columbia University in 1974 with a masters degree in architecture and spent the next four years working for I.M. He lives in New York.

Stortz. I bought this book for my son, who would like to go to NYU. He loved it!. Never Seen Better! I just got this book for Christmas, and it was by far the best gift. As a Californian who is in LOVE with New York, I could not have asked for a better book. The photos will leave you speechless, and longing for the city that never sleeps. I just spent 2 hours going through the different photos, and I can honestly
