It seems as if seven out of every eight vehicles in midtown Manhattan are taxis. At least that’s the case in this image, where southbound Park Avenue traffic wraps around Grand Central Terminal as it flows downtown. I use a very long telephoto lens (400mm) to compress the stream of vehicles, focusing on the Terminal and the statue of railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt that stands before it. The double yellow line on the street echoes the colors of the taxis and draws the eye deep into the image.
