You cannot stand anywhere on American soil and say “this was the country that went to the moon.” G.K. Chesterton once said “Architecture is the alphabet of giants; it is the largest set of symbols ever made to meet the eyes

Zinnemann’s photograph ‘Empire State Building from the Subway’ (1950) which I think begins to address this idea; the photograph certainly shows an unexpected position for the artist to have photographed the subject from. With the title of the image being ‘Empire State Building’, this surely suggests that Zinnemann intended this to be the main subject and focus point for the viewer, making the position that the artist chose to photograph from very interesting.
