Once known as The Great White Way, Times Square is the worlds most visited tourist attraction. Approximately a third of a million people pass through Times Square daily. 40 million people a year come to gawk at its garish advertising “spectaculars,” and to patronize its shops, restaurants, hotels, theatres and various attractions. In this wideangle image, I offer a study of the heart of the square, the spot that once hosted the structure that gave the place its name – the old New York Times building. The Times has since moved, and its former building has become Two Times Square. It is now almost completely covered with illuminated ads, rendering the once famous “news crawl” sign at the bottom, a formerly iconic New York symbol, nearly invisible. The building across the street reflects the colorfully chaotic scene back at us. Even the square's famous pigeons make an appearance here – at least eleven of them cling to a wire leading in to my image from the right. The scene pulses with energy, intensified by the diagonal lines and primary colors.
