Before moving to New York City, my experience with most architecture was limited to what I saw in books. Arizona has some lovely architecture, and some high rises, but a majority of the buildings that have historical significance happen to be in other cities, especially New York City. One of these buildings in the Seagram Building, located at 375 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

My experience with this building is with one of the original tenants, the Four Seasons Restaurant. I have worked on many social events there over the last (almost) decade of working in the special events industries, from weddings, to bar/bat mitzvahs, movie premier parties, and corporate holiday parties. I just worked an extremely long day there this past Sunday, but this photograph comes from November 9th of 2013. A little sad news as well: The Four Seasons will be closing in July, being forced out by the new landlords of the Seagram Building.

The lens that took this photo was an old Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. I inherited the lens from my uncle, who was a photographer before the digital revolution. Lots of post processing was used to correct the lines of the building, as the wide angle lens had some distortion, as well as the distortion from the lens looking up, causing everything to start to look like it was heading to the same single point way up past the frame.
