Customer Favorite Chrysler Building

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 26 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.
