The Chrysler Building as seen from 42nd Street. Midtown, New York City.
There is a fun ongoing project on Google Plus called Artistic Google. I found out about it earlier this week and fell head over heels in love with it. Each week revolves around a specific city. To participate you use Google Maps to seek out favorite locations or explore the selected city by foot using Street View and when you come across something you want to creatively process, you screenshot the Google Maps Street View image (the raw untouched one) and then you process it any way you want and share it by using the hashtag I used in the beginning of the post.
This week’s city is New York City. How could I pass that up? :)
This screenshot is of one of my favorite views of the Chrysler Building. I decided to go for an old film type of processing because this part of New York City (for me anyway) evokes the mid twentieth century. The tones remind me of the blank newsprint my father used to bring home for me and my brothers to use as scrap paper (he was a newspaper pressman). I loved using that paper for drawing and writing.
