Coney Island, Winter 2012
One month after Hurricane Sandy, I found myself with an extra hour in hand, waiting to shoot an assignment in Coney Island. As I walked the area, the storm’s devastation hung in the air. But light never falls on Coney Island without grace, even when the people, the buzzing storefronts, and the familiar metal-on-metal clank of the rides sit quietly.
The small format, designed to fit in the palm of a hand, is a nod to the iPhone camera I used that morning.
16 pages, printed on archival matte photo paper and hand-stitched with lightly-waxed linen thread. Made in my Washington Heights studio.
SOLD OUT
Impositions 2011-2014
Reworked through layers of digital “exposure,” these iPhone images of New York City carry traces of time and place folding over themselves. Some frames blend two moments, others as many as five.
The title speaks to how experiencing New York City for the first time reassembles itself over time into a layered, dream-like memory.
16 pages, printed on archival matte photo paper and hand-stitched with lightly-waxed linen thread. Made in my Washington Heights studio.
SOLD OUT
New York, 2011–2014
Titled after the word printed boldly across its cover, this issue leans into simplicity. Inside is a collection of stolen moments, bold gestures, and quiet confidence. This New York, in contrast to GothAM, offers a peek at the city’s dark humor in play—24/7.
16 pages, printed on archival matte photo paper and hand-stitched with lightly-waxed linen thread. Made in my Washington Heights studio.
SOLD OUT
Gotham Motif, 2011–2014
Leaning into the nickname given to New York by Washington Irving, I wanted to pay tribute to stories told in still life and in the shadows. These pictures bend toward the surreal and the absurd, hiding in plain sight amid the city’s constant play of contradiction.
