Anniversary Party, Manhattan. I have to say that there is no place quite like home, especially when that home happens to be New york City. The contrasts this city provides are unlike anything I’ve ever encountered… Manhattan, November 2011 Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade speaks at the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center in Harlem After visiting Senegal last year I caught up with that country’s president at a forum hosted by the New York Public Library in Harlem. There were a few other luminaries there as well… Civil Rights leader Jesse Jackson in Harlem. Door. New Orleans, August 2011 Some people would find it strange that I am not in New York for the tenth anniversary of September 11th. I don’t. I spent seven straight days photographing the attacks and their aftermath. That was enough for me. Lower Manhattan. September 11th, 2001 What I remember most about that [...] Some people hate the heat and humidity of a New York summer, I thrive on it! Apparently so do the kids of the Police Athletic League here in New York who recently held their annual sports day at Van Cortland Park in the Bronx.
A NYPD Community Affairs officer watches PAL kids play [...] Harlem, July 2011 A clear and direct message.

Each day was a new horizon of possibilities. I still feel that way… Brooklyn, July 2011 I don’t shoot a great deal in the neighborhood that I grew up in but this was too good to pass up. I guess I just find the rest of the world more interesting than the one I first knew… When I was a child we rarely spent any time on the waters which surround New York. After traveling around the world and spending so much time in coastal areas I have a newly developed appreciation for how dynamic New York’s waterways can be… Lady Liberty It’s always interesting to me how familiar yet strange New York feels after being away for a few months. I’ve been enjoying the company of friends and family the past week, not really wanting to edit the last week of photos I shot while in Barcelona. But I’m pulling together some images don’t [...] And it feels great! Muslim-American Day parade. New York. American isn’t a place; it’s an idea. One that is constantly changing. I hope my friends back home are enjoying the day off… Another week gone… |
