Old Alcoa Building, downtown.

This is really cool. The film markers enhance that artsy feeling.

Like it. Looks almost like it was shot with a wideangle lens. I suppose the choice of box you make these out of determines the focal length. I just noticed the pattern on the building. I am wondering if this was built as a twin to the Republic center tower here in Dallas?


Added: Did some research, and they are siblings. Same architectural firm. The Pittsburgh tower was built in '53 and the Dallas one in '54.

This was made for this. And hey, the echo of the sprocket holes in the windows.
