Dear Sir. Im sorry to tell you Im not the author of this picture; I think the place is the bridge from Manhattan to Brooklin.
For the details I can tell you the picture was taken with digital camera and I´m afraid the signature should hade never be done with ink for it will fade away, actually all my prints go signed with graphite on front or back and accompanied by hologram certificate of authenticity.
Please let me know if I can do anything else for you

Sincerely
