“Every time I shoot in New York I get the feeling that I am standing on the top floor of America looking down at it all, even while shooting at street level. There is a constant sense of elevation at every scale of interaction with the city.

Glittering and iridescent both day and night, it mixes centuries of pursuits realized with those just coming into focus. The city condenses so many of the core aspects of our nation’s character into a scene that is almost but not quite fully able to be captured.

A city of polarities, a feeling of ‘within and without’, at one moment a diorama and next a towering spectacle – all of us inherit New York as a place to witness and capture in the light in which we see it.” — Bret Curry
