New York, Sept. 2009

Back in September I took a visit to New York for a friend’s wedding. While I was there I took the time to photograph The High Line, by Field Operations. I had been planning on visiting the park, installed on the former elevated railway in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, even before a landscape designer friend of mine asked me to photograph it while I was there.

It is possibly the most beautifully detailed public spaces I’ve ever seen. It’s bloody brilliant – every city deserves something of this quality. Section Two is due for completion soon (next year, Spring, I think?) and there’s plenty of vis videos out there of how it will look. Can’t wait to go back and photograph that to.

Tim and Spirro put me up in Brooklyn, which was very decent of them, and they were great hosts. Cheers guys! I’ve been to New York a bunch of times before but never had the chance to properly explore Brooklyn so I spent a lot of time on foot dragging my camera bag about and generally getting in the way of people who have things to do during the day that amount to more than taking photographs – little do they know I’m earning a bloody living doing this.

More pictures over at my website.
