Statement:
For the past 40 years I’ve had this fascination with Downtown Manhattan. Growing up watching my father commute to the financial district provided me my first glimpses of the city I would once live in. I’ve seen the neighbourhood burgeon and fall and now that I’m fortunate enough to have my own family there, we’re witnessing it rise again with striking examples of modern architecture blending into the timeless grid that is Manhattan. Downtown is my way of commemorating this as we all slowly witness the metamorphosis of New York’s Classic skyline.
