21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Escalator to the Skyline
New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in Manhattan on a cold and foggy day in early Spring. The scene: a silhouette of bundled visitors taking an escalator to one of the upper galleries towards a quintessential view of the city’s storied skyline. As the architect clearly intended, the panorama beckons as a prelude to other museum wonders. Simultaneously, enhanced with imagined color in response to this somewhat dreary weather, the resulting photographic image perhaps serves as its own painted canvas.
