“TOP OF THE CITY… The crown of New York’s Chrysler building soars in the foreground while, far below, a shaft of light picks out a single, glowing yellow taxi. ‘My hope is that you can feel my love for this city through my images,’ writes photographer Paul Seibert in the introduction to his new book New York From The Air. His photos, taken from helicopters and perches on buildings, can reveal surprises. Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza, on the ground a noisy maze of crosswalks and off-ramps, from the air assumes a serene oval, snow-covered beauty. Seen from above, the foreshortened Statue of Liberty has a deep seam running down the middle of her head. At different seasons, vivid autumn colors seem painted on Central Park’s trees, thunderclouds loom apocalyptically over the city’s bay and One World Trade Center takes a lightning strike. New York sends light back into the skies as well: A picture of the Tribute in Light, an annual 9/11 memorial, shows twin columns of light merging, then blazing at the top like a candle.” —THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
