Central Park South

ARTIST STATEMENT

Can you have a crush on a city? Every now and then I can’t help myself. I lower my guard and let New York City overwhelm my skeptical photographer’s eye, my cautious intellectual side, and I end up with an unabashedly romantic take on the town that has been my home for twenty-six years.

Alec Soth recently said that photography is invariably linked with nostalgia, and surely shooting these gorgeous New York City streets can too easily tip into a maudlin reverie on the city’s past. But when the summer sun is low and the streets are wet and the clouds are snagged by tall, tall buildings, I trust my heart and I wrap myself around these streets like I’m in love, even when I know this town is going to break my heart right around the next corner.
