GM through Apple
Friday, June 16th, 2006
New York City. The new Apple store on 5th Avenue is underground and its entrance is a glass cube that sits right on front of the monolithic General Motors building. The photographic possibilities of shooting a reflection and through the cube in the same image were too good to resist. Great blue sky with nice white clouds both reflected and not. This store is open 24/7 and was packed when we descended the glass staircase to Mac-heaven below.
I liken the entrance of the new Apple store to that of the Louve in Paris. I wonder which has longer lines? Opening day at Apple or the “free” days at the Louve?
Hmmm, let’s see…Mona Lisa on a 30″, 2560 x 1600, HD with aluminum frame or Mona Lisa at 31″ x 21″? Choices, choices.
nalts: no choice at all. I go for the 30″ display, then find a nice reproduction of the mona lisa and make it a screen saver. ;)
Ah, very good!
