NY2006 -- Skyline at Night

Finally did figure out how to get to the top of 30 Rock.

At street level, it was 30 degrees w/ a light wind. At 70+ floors up, it was 30 degrees and like having the windows open while driving down the interstate. . .

The Empire State Building, with the city and landing airplanes in the background. . .

. . .of the rest of New York City skyline. . .

. . . blue backlist towers at the top of the windblown 30 Rock.

NY2006 -- Rockefeller Center Decked out for the Holidays

It was a very crowded night at Rockefeller Center, but i managed to push my way to the front to get a few pics of the iconic decorations. . . (More at: http://www.christoperj.com/2006/12/ph-ls-ny-rockefeller-center-decked-out.html)

The Christmas Tree over the ice skating rink. . .

. . .This is actually the Saks building across the street from Rockefeller Center, but i thought it looked cool.

NY2006 -- Random Run-in with Keith Olbermann

On the way through the door to 30 Rock, i see Keith Olbermann walking out the other.
After shaking off the "what the hell, was that?!?" -- i think to myself that i shouldnt be that idiot who when they see a celeb they throw away both tact & shame as they run & tackle their target in ways that call for both restraining orders & weaponry. And then I realize I had a camera. So I do a quick 180.

And that was just about the moment in time that I went in to stupid fan mode, talking like I needed meds or a refresher hooked-on-phonics course.

That aside, he smiled and was very polite about the whole thing. Little standoffish, but far less than im sure I would be if somebody random came up to me on the street. I asked him if he minded if I took a pic, and he said sure w/o hesitation. Thus the 'sticking the camera out at the end of the arm and pointing it back trying to get everybody in frame’. . .
