New York's skyscrapers have been magical to me since I was a child.
For the past three years I have been photographing the space around the
High Line. There is lots of construction going on in that area. Using
the panoramic format I am able to create a majestic horizontal view of
this section of the New York skyline that is very different than what I
would get with a traditional wide angle lens.
As I shoot the panoramic, I can only see it as several vertical
sections, which are stitched together once I put the files on the
computer. With practice, I am able to imagine roughly what it will look
like, but never know with certainty until it is assembled on the
computer. I like the surprise of not knowing exactly what I have at the
time of exposure.
