Ground Zero and the Beginning of One World Trade Centre, NYC

On one of my first trips to New York a good few years ago, one of the places I was keen to visit and pay my respects was Ground Zero, and the site of the World Trade Centre. The area was still under re-construction at the time and it was a surreal and moving experience to visit the site. One of the walkways gave a clear view of the foundations of what would later become the new Freedom Tower, or One World trade Centre. It was quite shocking to see in person for the first time when you suddenly got a sense of the scale of what had happened.

I had actually forgotten about this shot, but I came across the photo again recently while sorting through my Library.

Time Square Billboards at Night

It’s nearly been 10 years since I had my first trip to New York City. On the first night there, My wife brought me to see the amazing sight of al the lights and billboards in the busy junction. These were my first photos from New York, taken in the winter of 2006.

New York Skyline at Sunset

The top of the Empire State Building is probably one of the top tourist destinations in Manhattan, but if you get a chance to go, the best time is definitely at sunset. I was there a few years ago and managed to time the queues just right to be up on the observation deck, just as the sun was beginning to set. I shot a lot of images that night, and I’ll share some more in the weeks ahead.
