You might think it’s difficult to find fault with one of the most well-known city views in the world, but I have and it’s the Verizon building at 375 Pearl Street. The NYC skyline is a beautiful arrangement of modern, gothic, art deco skyscrapers… and then, towering over the Brooklyn bridge is the tremendous, glowing neon “Verizon” logo. The building has changed hands a few times and hopefully this eyesore’s days are numbered.

But one great aspect of photography is that nothing outside the frame exists, so I thought it might be a fun challenge to get an interesting photo of a building I detest. I think this result isn’t bad.
