City Unseen, a surreal love story in NYC
When light becomes dark and dark becomes light, with no beginning and no end. Looking up, looking down, all dazzling. A metamorphosis of the soul.
The Story behind this series:
This series is based on solarization, a darkroom technique creating a reversal of tonalities giving it its surreal character and emphasizing the amalgam of the city's impressive architecture. An ongoing series, my manifestation of the unaltered love for the city “O’Manhattan” and all its experiences. Dedicated to change & permanence.
The atmosphere also gives a glimpse of a mood that inhabited part of my childhood.

CITY OF ORGIES
City of orgies, walks and joys.
City whom that I have lived and sung in your midst will one day
make you illustrious.
Not the pageants of you,
not your shifting tableaus, your spectacles, repay me,
Not the interminable rows of your houses,
nor the ships at the wharves,
Nor the processions in the streets,
nor the bright windows with goods in them,
Nor to converse with learn'd persons, or bear my share in the soiree
or feast;
Not those, but
as I pass O Manhattan, your frequent and swift
flash of eyes offering me love,
Offering response to my own—these repay me,
Lovers, continual lovers, only repay me.
Walt Whitman
