Empire State Building, New York 1960

This 1960 black and white photograph by David Vestal captures the iconic Empire State Building in New York City. Taken from a low vantage point, the image focuses on the building's silhouette against a cloudy sky. The use of strong shadows and a dramatic composition creates a sense of mystery and grandeur, reflecting the city's powerful presence and its architectural marvels. This photograph is a testament to Vestal's mastery of capturing urban landscapes with a poetic and evocative eye.
