Density and solitude
New York in black and white is both scale but proximity. These images trace the city's intimate contradictions: strangers sharing a subway car yet existing in separate worlds; fire escapes stacked like musical notation against brick; the sudden quiet of a rooftop at dawn while the grid below stirs to life.
Shot with my travel driver the Lumix GX9, the series captures motion as texture. Streetlights smear into halos. The city breathes through these small gestures, the tilt of a head, the swing of an arm, the space between bodies on a crowded sidewalk.
This is not the postcard New York. It is the city as lived: dense, fleeting, and unexpectedly tender. This is my perspective of NY a city ive only been as a tourist and I think is a close third in my top 10 cities of the world.
