New York City at Night
NY, NY
I visited New York City for the first time in 1986, when I was 31 years old. The city was every bit as amazing as I expected. I made this photograph exactly 30 years later, on what to-date was my last visit. In between, I have visited the city many times, resided in the metro area for a couple of years while commuting to work in one of the high-rises of Rockefeller Center, and renting an apartment on the Upper West Side for one summer in the late 90s. So I have some famililarity with the city, though not quite as much as I would like. I enjoy NY and for the most part love visiting, though I think I am done visiting during the month of August. I made this photograph on a typical hot, sweltering August night, between 10PM and midnight. Being a nighttime picture, the exposure necessary to record the image on my 100 ISO color positive 8x10 film was four minutes at f22 aperture. I was not allowed to use my tripod; against the rules. What to do? Impossible to hand-hold an 8x10 camera steady for four minutes. Scouting around, I found a parapet that was flat and just big enough to set my camera on. Composing was difficult, mainly because there was so much to include. I knew I wanted to highlight the Empire State Building, 15 blocks and three-quarters of a mile south of Rockefeller Center, and I knew I wanted this to be a grand scenic view of NYC, one I envisioned printing 6' x 10'. I wanted the print to have the same visual impact of what I was seeing and experiencing. Finishing composing the photograph, I inserted the film holder, pulled the darkslide, and pressed the cable release for the four minute exposure. I jealously guarded the camera, elbows out, from being jostled on the crowded deck. Standing 70 floors above street-level, I could feel the building sway slightly below me. Would the image be sharp or blurred? I wouldn't know until I saw the film. Days later, after returning home and developing the film, I was relieved and excited to see the result. Tack sharp. NYC at night in all her blaze of light glory. The Empire State, proud, front and center, Queens, Brooklyn and the bridges to the left, Freedom Tower at the tip of Lower Manhattan, and in the distance, the Statue of Liberty guarding the entrance to New York harbor. This is one of the most spectacular and satisfying photographs in my entire portfolio.
