The L magazine recently featured a list of 10 up an coming New York Photographers. They included me and the image below from my series, midtown past midnight.
A few years ago I began to be interested in the 24-hour guards and entrances to the skyscrapers of midtown. I made regular trips up to midtown and photographed from 12 am to around 5 am. Sometimes the guards would stay in the same place for several minutes; unconsciously posing for my camera. I love how the mood of the image reminds me of midtown night: quiet but alive in its own way, just like much of New York.
