Water Towers

Upper West Side, New York

An iconic Manhattan site, water towers and tanks are so much easier to photograph from rooftops, with a tele-lens compressing many of them into a single shot.

Upper West Rooftops

Upper West Side, New York

Some fantastice views from a rooftop on the Upper West Side on a beautiful Spring evening. Continuing to shoot with the tele-zoom at 200mm and enjoying the distance-compressing effects. Note the people in other rooftop gardens in all of the shots.

The Gray Day

Isolation, Upper West Side, New York

The very air seems heavy and quarantined, as if it would like to get out for a fresh breath…

The Naked City

63rd St and Park Avenue, New York

63rd St and Madison Avenue, New York

The city was eerily empty for 6 in the evening (March 29th) as we drove home from the airport in a Lyft where the driver’s seat was cocooned behind thick plastic wrap.

Gray Gardens

 

59th St Bridge, New York

Seen coming off the bridge into NY. A suitably gray scene for the besieged city we were returning to.

Even in Florida, where the Governor didn’t seem to be taking Covid-19 too seriously, parking lots were empty in the days before we left.
