The easiest part of a harried three days came Friday around noon, when we met to settle on the cover. A photograph taken by Iwan Baan on Wednesday night, showing the Island of Manhattan, half aglow and half in dark, was the clear choice, for the way it fit with the bigger story we have tried to tell here about a powerful city rendered powerless. — nymag.com
Everyone's favorite architecture photographer, Iwan Baan, shows the world his magic with this month's cover of NYMag. Brilliant.

It'd be more brilliant if someone would turn on the rest of the lights. They should have waited until the electricity was fixed before taking the photo.
Y!
interesting how the lights stop exactly halfway across the williamsburg bridge
Amazing cover. My reaction was kind of double-barreled: 1 whoa, unbelievable photo and 2 whoa, famous architectural photographer! Brief thoughts on this: http://mvmtbldg.wordpress.com/2012/11/04/new-york-magazines-amazing-sandy-cover/
And on the storm and the city more broadly: http://mvmtbldg.wordpress.com/2012/11/02/the-city-and-the-storm/
