Yellow light in a doorway along a Manhattan sidewalk at twilight.
As we walked south from midtown to lower Manhattan on this winter day, afternoon turned to early evening, and down along the streets of the city, in the valleys between tall buildings, the light began to feel more and more like evening. As we walked I photographed, looking for light, color, and people that stood out to me. I made most of the photographs on the move, barely pausing long enough to make and exposure and then moving on.
I now barely remember making this exposure. I’m pretty certain it was somewhere in the vicinity fo Chinatown, and it may have actually been within the rough boundaries of that district. I de recall being fascinated — as I often am — by the patterns and textures of the roll-up doors on the closed shops, and by the warm yellow color of the doorway and the light emerging from it.
