These photographs of many of Manhattan’s most prominent landmarks were taken in August of 2003 on a short holiday our own clock_work9 took to New York. They will be printed out at 8x10 or thereabouts - some are thinner/wider etc. All of the images are originals and will be printed by a professional digital imaging company on high quality photo paper.

Just take a look… the quality is outstanding; and even though the subjects are widely known, the presentation is quite different from anything I’ve ever seen. I believe you’ll be as moved as I was when Chris first sent them to me.

This is the New York stock exchange as taken facing south on Broad Street:

The Chrysler Building on Lexington Avenue:

The Empire State Building as seen from the corner of Park Avenue and 34th street:

The Banker's Trust Building on Liberty Street, heavily damaged during the collapse of the World Trade Centre:

The Koenig Sphere, also damaged during the collapse of the World Trade Centre and moved to Battery Park:

The Statue of Liberty:

And last, 5th Avenue:

The opening bid for each picture is $10. The auction is open now and runs until Wednesday evening, 8PM, CDT, March 28, 2007. Chris will pay postage to deliver them anywhere in the world. Please keep your bids in increments of $1.00 and don’t forget to tell me which picture(s) you’re bidding on!

Who’ll open for me? Bidder up!

Nice to see such active bidding though you guys do know you're just bidding on photographs of the buildings, and not the landmarks themselves?

My personal favourite is the 5th avenue one. I have that blown up huge on a wall and it really kind of draws you in. Originally it was just black and white but inverting it gave it that kind of 'New York at night' kind of feel.

That one of the banker's trust building looks kinda odd because the entire building, from top to bottom, was draped in this black canvas sheeting and it kind of billowed in the wind - it was incredibly funereal. And of course the building itself almost looks like a tombstone.

Bid on!

Christ! I'm worried about having Chris work on my wall, now! Just promise me no fishies, Christopher!

I loved your pictures and look forward to receiving mine. I will look after my end of the bargain sometime today, guys. Thanks so much!

Kevin

Here's the deal. The pictures are being printed by a company and then sent to me so I can check 'em. Then I'll post them out. This is gonna make it take just a little bit longer but I'm going to have envelopes and postage ready to go so they'll be with you as quickly as possible.

(Now, to surgically sew the high frequency listening device into the lining of Kevin's picture.)
