[edit] Geography/Geology of New Jersey

Hello, I saw your article at Palisades Sill. Thank you for your contribution. I would like to invite you to also contribute to the Geography of New Jersey article. It is much in need of an expert in Geography and Geology. Thank you. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 07:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitiation. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, I've been pulled in every direction. I've gone and added a section on the Newark Basin to the article, as well as writing a more geologically-in-depth article at Newark Basin. Thanks again and let me know if there's anything else I can help with. --CrankyScorption 05:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GE Building

Hey - I added the composite image to the "See also" section. I think it's cool, but I'm unsure of it's staying power; however, I won't remove it from this section because I don't think it does any harm. The problem with the page is the clutter of photos, but the ones on there I think are all good. There's a way to get your photo into the main body of the article, tough: expand it. The clutter is because the article is pretty small, considering the historic nature of the building, but also its place in NYC history, who owns it, how it has changed hands, and the original purposes of it. Thanks for the compliments. Regarding vantage points: one excellent way to obtain good vantage points is....hotels. Most hotels have pretty much open-access to the higher floors (which often have windows in the hallways, or they have a restaurant, cafe or lounge at the top of them. If you look like you belong in the hotel (having your camera out helps) then you are unlikely to be questioned. The Hilton Times Square, though, only allows guest access to the floors; that is where I shot One Penn Plaza, when I went to photograph Gerald Posner. This has been a rarity, though. Before I obtained my good camera, I even made it to the Governor's Floor at the Millenium Hilton at Ground Zero, which I thought was surprising. If you are on a photo hunt around Manhattan, it might be worthwhile to just pop into a hotel, walk straight for the elevators, push a button for the top floor, and see where it takes you... --David Shankbone 15:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
