Calling All Party People
in Times Square

Jane Dickson has been photographing New York City’s Time Square since 1970’s. She began working in animation which is where her idea for this series came about. The mosaics in her photos where commissioned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority are Arts and Design department and were unveiled in 2008. She photographs them with people speeding by and them just alone. I like the fun quality behind her work.

Through the Centuries,
New York From Above

 

This article is a about a book featuring many different photographers that have shown New York City over the year. I choose this photo because I have always loved the strong contrast between the city’s hard line and the parks organic feel. There is something about this photo that is engaging with all the different line directions. Around the park the lines are straight but in the park everything has a curve.
