Freedom Tower 800f (2021) 摄影 由 Ken Lerner

Freedom Tower 800f is a view if the Freedom Tower (1 World Trade Center) in NYC near sunset, when the sun was low in the sky, but not so low that it had started to turn red yet. There are several other versions of the main image (Freedom Tower 800a), each limited to 3 prints in each version. In this version (800f), I have increased the contrast an extreme amount, so the clouds have a very dark ominous look to them, and I have also tinted the image to be only shades of Prussian blue and black and bright white from the pale whites, grays, and near blacks of the main image. Now the Freedom Tower seems to glow in the scene, and the foreground is washed out to black, so the tower is the sole point of interest in the picture. Except for the glowing orb shining through the clouds above it, which seems almost like the sun (though of course it is not, as the sun is directly to the west (right ) in this picture producing that incredible glow off the face of the tower mostly angled at a 45 degree angle to us, the viewer. It has almost the science fiction-like feel of a sky with two suns. And unlike version 800d where there is lots of gradation in the clouds above the tower, here there is really only the tower and the glowing orb above it, giving a much colder and starker feel to the image.

Please note - due to Covid-19 limitations still affecting me, delivery will take about 3 weeks
