New York City Diary- The story of Light and Darkness

New York City, the city that never sleeps. When I was in this magical city for the first time in 2011, I immediately fell in love. In the pulsating, the colorful, lively, creative and extraordinary. It seemed as if this city had its own heartbeat. With my head in the clouds, I wandered through the urban canyons of New York and was amazed, this city was so much more than I could have ever dreamed of. During the 2020 pandemic and lockdown, I had the opportunity to travel to New York on business. The vibrant, sleepless city suddenly stood still. Someone had stopped the world. I walked through the streets, which were empty of people. Many New Yorkers had fled the city, tourists had no way to enter New York. What New Yorkers had left behind were messages of hope and courage. I came back with many unique snapshots of a bizarre and extraordinary time. Black and white images dominate primarily this series of images, always a play between light and darkness. The messages of hope are colorful, full of joie de vivre, courage and hope.
