Some folks like to get away, take a holiday
from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood
I'm taking a greyhound on the Hudson River line-
I'm in a New York state of mind.

I seen all the movie stars
in their fancy cars
and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies
under the evergreens,
But I know what I'm needing
and I don't want to waste more time-
I'm in a New York state of mind

-Billy Joel

Great use of the fisheye, Erin. This conveys such a feeling of isolation and coldness -- I wonder how it would have been treated in the Harsh Environment challenge?

Ironic cause I saw the taped Billy Joel interview on Oprah today. I absolutely adore that song and loved the Mel Torme version as well. Just fantastic. The fisheye gives that distorted sense, perfect for the feeling you get in a bit city - like you are just a little pea in the big bowl of soup. Love the blue tones too. Your photos totally rock.

Cool song and WOW, what a view!! The distortion works wonderfully here, and the blue tones match the melancholy tone of the song perfectly!
