Photographing the landmarks of New York City is
particularly challenging considering previous masters who captured
these sites on film. The challenge is to
find new angles and ideas, whether looking at familiar sites such as the
Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Woolworth Building,
Lincoln Center, Radio City, and Rockefeller Center, or documenting
Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty in light of the added
meaning they carry since the destruction of the World Trade Center.
Shadows, seasons, the height of the sun in the sky, and the atmosphere
on the street that accompanies physical transformations of the
city all provide material for composition. The structures that
define the skyline of the city define photographic statements
as well. |
