Michael Massaia writes:
“In my early twenties I worked in a mailroom, and as a street messenger in New York City. I would wander the streets for days at a time, both confused and mesmerized by almost everything that came in front of my eyes. Carrying around an old Polaroid sx-70 camera, and boxes of Time-Zero film, I found the perfect tool to document both the romance, excitement and confusion of the city during the early 2000s. The city was right on the brink of undergoing massive changes both esthetically and culturally. These photos were in retrospect a love letter, as well as a goodbye letter, to a city that would in many ways be unrecognizable 20 years later.
“All of the images were shot using an old chrome Polaroid sx-70 camera & expired Time-Zero film. All of the manipulations are done by hand using wood carving tools on the original time-zero positive. The final prints are 10”x10”, 20”x20” and 40”x40” pigment prints.”

Michael Massaia is a fine art photographer and printmaker who has spent the past ten years documenting areas and objects that never extend too far from his front door. Isolation, disconnection, and an attempt to put a spotlight on the ordinary are the constants in all of his work. He focuses primarily on large format black-and-white film, utilizing a variety of highly modified proprietary analog and digital printing techniques. Massaia works alone and is the sole craftsman from the instant the negative is exposed to the moment the final print is made.
