City Flag was taken during my most recent trip to NYC. I walked around the city with an iPhone 17 Pro to learn how to shoot on the new smartphone. This photograph was taken from a window in the Museum of Modern Art. Looking out, you could see the empty floor of an office building across the street, lit up, with a waving American flag straight through. It was about 5 stories up where this photograph was taken.
I really enjoy the contract and light in this composition. For an unplanned, candid capture, I am happy with how it turned out.
City Flag was taken in January 2026 with an iPhone 17 Pro. It has been edited in Adobe Lightroom.
