NYC Just Had Its Worst Year for Brush Fires this Decade
As brush fires continue to rage in the New York area, data shows that they’ve become more prevalent in recent years.
Earlier this year, I took an architectural photography class with photographer Erieta Attali, author of the book In Extremis: Landscape into Architecture at Columbia University GSAPP. I’m a self-taught photographer, apart from a few weeks with photographer Mark Lyon, known for his work in the Maison de Verre in Paris and on tour with MGMT. As such, the transition to architectural/fine art photographer was a unique challenge. As a journalist, I can usually present a series of images to represent one place, but for the class I wanted to capture both the essence of a place and what might have been overlooked all in one image. I sought to frame the city and to show the “Untapped” sides of New York.
