On January 8, 2024, I had the unique opportunity to soar above New York in a helicopter, capturing this aerial shot of the iconic Empire State Building. That evening, the building’s lights were illuminated in blue and maize to commemorate the College Football Playoff National Championship. This photograph not only showcases the grandeur of the Empire State, but also captures the vibrant energy of New York City from above, with the city’s skyline bathed in stunning colors.
