Today was about light + shadow. With the sun sweating 80+ degrees on the city, it was a warm scene blaring with a coat of sunshine.

I enjoy trying to capture the quiet of New York. I’ve found photographs to be an outlet, because I haven’t yet discovered a quiet place. A photograph can take the noisiest scene and make it calm through light, color or context.

These five photographs from today represent a progression in moments where I was able to block out everything and feel silence.
