I shot this super late one night.

I was in New York City for a single day, shooting a commercial for a clinic in the Upper East Side, and I got off around 11pm and went shooting until 3am.

This was shot after a very, very long walk in the sweltering heat in August.

I shot this from the Manhattan Bridge, shooting south and had previously gone with an unobtructed shot with my lens sticking through a hole in the fence.

It turned out great, but I wanted to get a slightly more urban feel here so I pulled the lens back by about a foot and got the fence in the foreground.

This has been a very popular image and I'm always amazed at how different each person's emotional reaction to it is.

In the span of literally 5 minutes, I've had someone cheerfully walk by and say it should be titled "Freedom" because it shows such a wide open space on the other side of the fence!

A few minutes later another gentleman came by and said that he was eerily intrigued by the picture and felt it should be called "Prison" because they felt the fence symbolized to them the feeling of being trapped. So to each his own!

It took some technical wizardry and further trial and error to both get the foreground a few inches from the lens, and the far background crisp and sharp at the same time! An ultra wide angle lens and careful use of the focus settings ultimately did the trick!

You can see the East River here, separating Manhattan from Brooklyn, as well as the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan and Wall St in the background.
