Stunning work
This is an incredibly thoughtful book that brings New York alive right at a time when we are all hunkered down and avoiding the outside. It’s important to remember where we are and how beautiful and challenging the city is. It will come back to us but until then, we have this gorgeous reminder of our home.
NYC architectural treasures beautifully captured!
I love this book! What a treasure...
I have lived and/or worked in NYC since 1982 and was thus delighted to “stroll along” with Mr. Krajka to either rediscover, or discover for the first time, highlights of of some of the city’s most beautiful architecture.
Mr. Krajka has a wonderful (and interesting) eye in the way he captures his subjects. Not only are his photographs beautiful, I loved that he included a snippet of history next to each photo (who knew!).
Thank you Mr. Krajka for allowing me to rediscover my city, all over again!
Entices you to explore!
What a beautiful and compellng view of a fantastic and special city. The photographs capture the wonder of the architecure that New York City is so known for and makes me eager to get back and do some strolling! I highly recommend this book to those people wanting to explore the city with a new set of eyes.
