Nature of New York

On trips to New York, the cacophony of the streets is both exhilarating and exhausting. A sojourn to a legacy park is an effective antidote. My aim is to depict the drama of the scene: the density of the only remaining old growth forest in New York; Central Park trees that have survived since they were a dot on Fredrick Law Olmsted’s plan; the relief of warm spring sunlight on emerging buds. These images are from Central Park, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and New York Botanical Gardens.
