In addition to the iconic spire, another feature of the Chrysler Building that makes it so striking is the winged Art Deco ornaments adorning the four corners of the 61st floor.

Everyone knows Nathan's Famous Coney Island location on Stillwell Avenue, thanks to its vibrant neon signage and sleek stainless steel exterior.

The renovation modernized the look while preserving the charm that makes it iconic — and, of course, they’re still serving some of the best hot dogs around! Brooklyn, New York. Black and white.

A fisheye scene reminiscent of Ghostbusters. I was working in the studio when all off the sudden the room went dark. These enormous clouds blew in out of nowhere and blocked out the sun. It was mildly terrifying. Aside from increasing the contrast, this photo is unedited. Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Black and white.
** This photo was taken from the same vantage point as the previous "Ghostbusters" photo, but believe it or not they were over 12 years apart!
