Perhaps you thought that I was finished with the photographs from our December visit to Manhattan. You’d be wrong! As I’ve written in the past, I love photographing in the dense urban world of Manhattan. In many ways it is the opposite of what I do most often when I head out to photograph in California and the west, where I tend to focus on the more-or-less natural world (though not entirely!) and work at a generally slower and more contemplative pace. Manhattan is intense, with people everywhere, and tons of stuff to see. Much of it happens so quickly that it is “shoot now or miss it!”
I made this photograph in a busy part of Manhattan — Broadway not far below Central Park if I recall correctly — and during the busy holiday period when tons of people are on the streets. I love the great American diversity of Manhattan, where you rub shoulders with just about everyone — rich and poor, locals and tourists, young and old, every language and ethnicity.
