Lost Urban Corners

I was downtown a few weeks ago for a commissioned shoot and when I turned down a random street on my way back home I came upon this hidden corner. I was a bit lost and looking down at my iPhone GPS looking for directions when I looked up and saw the magic light. If it wasn't for the enormous building with patterned windows behind the smaller, quaint and charming ones, I might have thought that I was in Europe for a moment.

I love New York.

Ooh, where downtown is it? It's so familiar. It is amazing to be by the Rector Street area and see amazing details on buildings.

I find that everywhere in London because it's obviously a much older city (I hang out at the oldest pub built in the 1200s!) Being a NYC native and appreciating the small details that weren't present everywhere taught me to look when I moved here. Thanks for sharing!
