Part of the new job was to run over to banks and make deposits. My boss was always emphatically apologetic, but I didn’t mind on cloudless days like this. The subway would take me the one stop to the bank, but I chose to walk, since it took about the same amount of time. This is a Frank Gehry building that I originally noticed when I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. It has this wave pattern that catches the light perfectly. I then read about it in New York Magazine. Gehry originally wanted the building to look like a corkscrew, but there were plumbing issues. This was the compromise.
