Velocity and Structure
New York never stops, but it does line up if you watch it long enough. From the Manhattan Bridge, the FDR Drive becomes a perfect channel of energy: traffic, river, architecture, and atmosphere all converging into one cohesive push.
I waited for the timing to hit. The movement needed to stretch, not blur. The buildings needed to layer just right. There’s so much rhythm in this view: the way the traffic pulls your eye forward, the subtle lean of the skyline, and the air carrying just enough haze to soften the harder edges.
This isn’t a quiet piece. It’s not supposed to be. It’s full of intention, motion, and clarity. But it’s still structured, still balanced. That makes it a fine art photograph, not just a postcard.
