I just browsed through your photos and couldn't stop clicking through them all tonight. They have inspired me to take a closer look at life around me and appreciate the beauty in my own city. Thank you for this web site! I have made it my homepage so I can see what new picture you will be adding next. Great work... I look forward to seeing more...

I think that this is also known as the "Flat Iron" building.

Fabricated windows? Wonder what that's for.

Beautiful colors, good pp-ing. What's with all that noise? You must've taken that with a really high ISO...
Love the painted windows.

It's a lomo shot - which would account for the 'noise' Hans speaks of...

Looks like a big bump in saturation, too. That'll cause all sorts of noise sometimes.

But in this case, the eye-popping colors help me get past any pixel abberations.

why is it that your skies always look so fake?
as fake as those windows.

The flat iron building is in new york

looks like a photo of a building placed over a painting of a sky.....less 'work' on the sky in my opinion would make this pic, and the others like it, more interesting and less like some utopian image of what a sky should be

In Toronto, This is also referred to as the Flatiron building, not to be mistaken for the much larger Flatiron building in NYC. Both have a similat shape though, converging at the front.

What I didn't know what that this was owned by Gooderham and Worts.. interesting.

The "Gooderham & Worts" building is in the Distillery district, isn't it? I believe this is just called the Flatiron building, and not G&W.

By the way, the G & W factory in the Distillery district would make an excellent photography subject. (In fact, some of the side alleyways and cobblestone streets in there would as well.) Not just the sign. ;)

it's commonly referred to as the 'flat iron building' though commissioned by George Gooderham to house the offices of Gooderham & Worts. yes, it's sometimes called the 'Gooderham Building' even though there are technically several 'Gooderham' buildings in the distillery district. it was completed in 1892 and is designated an historical landmark by the City of Toronto.

as for the shot - i'm so sick of this building, and this shot doesn't do it justice. i do admire most of your other work though.

Yeah... you have to find a shot that will redeem you from this one.

I also appreciate many of your photos. I think that you are a great photographer and could make very good living off of it, but this shot is one you can easily top.

Hi!
I think that your other photoes are awsome but this one is I think is not trully one of your bests... And in this particular case I think the clouds are not real... I mean the clouds are dark blue and grey and on the picture is a bit noisy... but the roof of the house is I think lighter than it should be under this conditions... and there is some noise on the clouds but the picture of the building is clear and bright...
This is not one of your best photos but I think the others are awsome and I am still one of your "silent" fans...

Just a little trivia for y'all:
The Rockerfellers (or whoever it was that built the NYC flat iron) got there inspiration when they saw this one in Toronto. There is a photo available from the Toronto Star newspaper taken while they were here admiring our building!

Hi! again
Maybe I was wrong about this, what I wrote...
What kind of camera did you use to capture this? Digital or film camera? with film camera the noise on the clouds are explained... and than you scanned the picture...
ok. well I guess I was wrong about this.
keep up with the good work! ...

what strikes me about this is how it almost seems like two separate images. the tones of the side of the building are much redder than the other more orange side. and the vibrant blue sky is a stunning contrast. nice work.
