Roof Climbing atop 530 Broadway
Vinnie's post about Windows Live Local inspired me to capture aerial ("Bird's Eye" they call it) shots of my office. I did try looking up my house, but I guessed (correctly) that they only had stock for major metropolitan areas.
I liked hanging out on the roof a lot. It was either the view, the fresh air, or just time to get away from the office. It was nice times up there, usually with my cell phone, making calls and burning hours. I have a friend who would be mighty proud to know that I scaled that building. Not too hard though, considering I just went up the first escape. This dude, however, likes to scale walls like Spider-man. Crazy. One time, he almost got busted by the popo...
From the view, I can totally see what Spider-man sees. The New York skyline, at least in Soho, is very organic. People actually have crap on the roofs of the buildings. Really interesting stuff to look at when you're thinking about nothing at all.
I think I'll miss it. (And it's not just me. The whole office is moving to Chinatown.)
