Just curious...
Carlos,

This is a duplication. Also I can't seem to satisfy the parameters. (Make it 1 character(s) longer.

Carlos,

Your "eye" for photo composition is great. What camera are you using?

hey thanks guys...

I studied art, and art history in college...

so i always look for "dramatic" or unusual angles, but given the fact that sometimes the street is my only platform, i am limited to find new ones....

I use a very simple and convenient little camera....

Casio Exilim 6.2 megapixels...fits in my pocket and i carry it with me at all times, it also takes great movies up to 30 minutes long with sound!

before digital camaras I had SLR Nikon FE series ....they were bulky and had to carry multiple lenses.......no more

I noticed quite a quality improvement in your snapshots - seriously much better - your quality now ranks above NYGuy - so he is next for an upgrade.

Congrats on the new digital camera, Mr. Carlos - I hope you are enjoying the more robust quality of your photos - it is certainly more pleasing to view here on the forums!

LOL....I've been planning to get a new camera for years, but can't seem to shake the old one. Oh well....

One of the cranes are being dismantled. Has the building been topped out?

BoA has an eerie resemblance to the NY Times Tower with its thick gray horizontal bands

But the difference lies in the tops of the towers.

The BOFA Tower tapers at the top.

2 more actual working floors followed by the 10-story glass crown (continuation of the curtain wall). Quite a bit more to grow.

Above the 2 floors yet to complete, is there going to be any mechanical equipment storage rooms on the roof or anything related?

I believe I read that this building will recycle rain water, so I would expect some mechanical floors above.

I have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about. None, zip, zilch. You might as well say they're similar because they have windows.

It's not even worth listing all the differences; they're too self-evident.

The tall spire and wind turbine on top will make it different from all other skyscrapers in the city. They'll be constructing them soon...
