Captured with Phase One XT IQ4-150 and the Rodenstock 23mm/5.6 HR-Digraron, a sharp ultrawide angle that accommodated just enough shift movement to compose this frame. Captured from the now-shuttered Gramercy Park hotel, on a fittingly grey and joyless winter day.
The wide angle and high, single point perspective emphasize the dominance of the private, locked park's local footprint. Rather than creating public space, it seems to elbow us aside.

Gramercy Park, which sits between Lexington Avenue and Irving Place between 20th and 21st Streets in Manhattan, is a locked private park. At the center of the park is a statute of Edwin Booth, a 19th century actor today best known for being the less murderous sibling of John Wilkes Booth.
Only residents of the surrounding buildings are issued keys. There are a lot of rules, including against photography, so this is as close as we get. If you have to ask, you don't belong. Go away.

@mattblaze
It's a real shame to waste all that space by excluding everyone from it so that a few people can have it to themselves on the rare occasion that they want it.If I were one of those people with exclusive access, I'd feel like a massive asshole 😂

@mattblaze Sounds like what if Philly's Rittenhouse Square was only for rich people!

I just want to help improve their park security by adding some padlocks to the gates.
