The New York City skyline at sunset in silhouette under dramatic storm clouds.
Clouds, which once covered the sky like a thick, dark purple blanket open slowly to reveal the blue hues that breathe life into the day.
And as the sun’s flame dips closer to the horizon, its scintillating luster reaches up to the clouds.
For, you see, the sun only disappears temporarily to make way for the moon and stars that blush white-hot in thoughts of its splendor.

Over East Broadway on a busy, sunny afternoon. Two Bridges. Lower East Side, New York City.
There are streets that, for me, fill in the image of New York City that exists in my mind.
I have spoken about this before in older posts. Everyone seems to have their own image of New York City that, for them, represents so much more than just the geographical spot that New York City inhabits on any sort of map.
It took me about a year of thinking about my own approach to New York City with photography and via writing to figure out what I was trying to do every time I took a photo of this city I have called home since my birth. But now I know and it has changed my own view of my surroundings.
It’s not easy to attempt to distill something as enormous a concept or location as New York City into visual and tangible emotion but that is what I try to do with every photo I feel proud enough to post, whether it is taken with my phone (like the photo in this post) or with my regular camera.
I will post a few companion photos to this one later this week (that I took with my regular camera) and expand further about what this street means to me currently.
