New York City - Grand Central Terminal

Grand Central Terminal opened way back in 1913, and it still ranks as one of the world's largest and most majestic train stations. The architecture here is astounding. The Main Hall is so immense that you can't capture the whole thing in one photograph. I carried a fisheye lens with me all the way from Arkansas just so I could try to capture as much of the cavernous space as possible.



And as large as the space seems on the inside, it's crazy to see the building be overshadowed by the massive skyscrapers around it.



The exterior of the building is just as impressive as the inside. It's a shame that buildings aren't built like this anymore.



It was busy there, of course, with a constant stream of commuters and tourists entering and leaving the station. In fact more than 21 million people visit Grand Central every year. Which is amazing, especially since the building was almost torn and destroyed in the 1960s.



From Grand Central I walked a few blocks over to the Tudor City Bridge, which is located near the United Nations Building. As I was walking down the sidewalk I started chatting with another person out walking, who turned out to be another photographer out that night taking pictures. We talked for a bit, and he shared some photo location tips. We added each other as friends on Instagram, and when I got back to the hotel later that night I saw that I had been speaking with Neil Vigdor. Not only is he a really good photographer, but he's a reporter with the New York Times as well (he's at @gettinviggy on Instagram if you'd like to give a follow).

So here's the last shot for the night, looking up 42nd Street towards the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station:
