Photo Series: New York Architecture

(last edit

Just 15 months after I posted my Singapore Architecture photo series, I have decided to revisit this theme with some photos I took in New York last September. Despite what this series might suggest, I did explore beyond Manhattan but not as much because I found Manhattan to be the most interesting photographically.
