Photographer Sheila Bernard has a knack for finding unusual spaces to display her work. Over the last several years, she has put on exhibits in a glassed-in wall area at Port Authority and has also held solo shows at Bloomingdale’s SoHo, the West Caldwell Public Library, the Kessler Rehabilitation Institute, Verona Town Hall, and the Barn Theatre. Through November 23, Bernard’s “Urban Series” will be on view at the Office of the Manhattan Borough President (who is Scott Stringer, in case you didn’t know), fab photos of New York City buildings taken from unusual angles and featuring reflections of other buildings on their facade. Several of the photographs look like they can’t be real, that they must have been digitally manipulated, but Sheila B. is shooting what she sees, and she has quite an eye. Try your best to identify which buildings are in each photo; sometimes the title of the picture holds an important clue.
