Awesome pics, SC! (Sorry I haven't replied to your email yet
)
But as an aside - Ellis Island, though a significant character in GF2, was never actually used for filming... those "Ellis Island" scenes were shot in Italy...! (The image you show above, the statue of liberty was actually superemposed!)
The shots are great, though. And I tell you, when I took the pic of 309 W 43rd a few years ago, I surely don't remember it being so ornate! They
must've renovated!!
