Photographer Mitchell Funk looks up at the Met Life and Chrysler Buildings from Grand Central Station. He perfectly designs dark and light areas with golds set against blues. A silhouetted light post with metal signs attached has a fanciful shape and rises in the center of the composition. It simultaneously separates and unifies both of the sun-lit buildings. For a final accent, a jet flies into the perfect spot. Strong lighting from the late afternoon sun ties all the elements together, forming a meticulously designed graphic statement.
