NYC IV
By Joseph Gareri
USD$450
A gritty, atmospheric monochrome perspective captured deep within the New York City subway system at the 7th Avenue station. The wide-angle composition pulls the eye down the empty tiled platform, highlighting the stark contrast between the weathered, flaking steel girders overhead and the gleaming rows of classic white subway tile. A raw, authentic tribute to the subterranean veins that power the city.

The Story Behind the Lens
On the three day trip through NYC, we used the subway extensively to get around. It was quick, cheap, and offered unlimited possibilities. We took it from Times Square to Queens to see the Mets play an afternoon game at home, made our way to Roosevelt Island and used the system to get to Brooklyn too. Navigating NYC meant spending so much time underground and the subway stations offered an entirely different visual character. Stepping onto an empty platform at 7th Avenue, this frame captured the quiet, industrial grit of the city’s transit network between the rush of incoming trains.
