This was captured with a DSLR and a 19mm shifting lens. There's a bit of barrel distortion from the lens, but I decided this image looked better uncorrected.

The Inquirer building, completed in 1924, to me evokes a cigar-chomping editor who calls everyone "kid" and who says things like "bring me back a scoop".

The building had been vacant for a few years when this photo was made, the paper having moved to cheaper and leaner facilities. It has since been repurposed as police headquarters.

It has since been repurposed as police headquarters.

Home, no doubt, to a cigar-chomping police chief who yells things like "You're a loose cannon, O'Hanrahan!"
