Stillness Below the City
This isn’t the Manhattan that moves fast. This is the Manhattan that exhales. Shot from Brooklyn Bridge Park, the skyline becomes less about towers and more about rhythm—repetition, spacing, light.
I waited for the moment when the water slowed just enough to mirror the geometry. The pilings aren’t just foreground—they’re pacing. They break up the space without breaking the calm. The city becomes a backdrop, distant and defined, held still by the structure in front of it.
As a fine art print, this piece balances tension with quiet. It’s structured, but soft. When printed large, the detail in the skyline rewards close viewing, but the composition works from across the room. That’s what I want in an urban image—not just a view, but a pause.
