I find it always fascinating that fragments of the past manage to survive amidst the towers of contemporary Manhattan. I wanted to tell that story in this image. It’s the story of a tiny story red-brick building, hemmed in by towering condos and office buildings on all sides. Once again, if this image had been rendered in black and white, that story would lose its edge. The red building would turn gray, and while still small in comparison to its neighbors, it would not stand out as strongly as it does here in color.
