Chrysler Building ...

Saying a fond farewell to my favourite NY icon, the Chrysler Building. A building that has always seemed to have a grace and style of its own, especially when it stands next to it's neighbouring non-descript sheer, glass towers.

I've been intrigued with this building after reading the stories of the photographer Margaret Bourke-White and seeing the images of her taking photos from on top of this building (in the extras, taken by her darkroom assistant Oscar Graubner). She was also the first accredited woman to fly in combat missions, so I suppose a walk off the edge of a 77 storey building was an ordinary day in the office for her.
