EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of New York City's bustling energy and architectural diversity. Taken on 3 November 2014, at the junction of two iconic streets - 42nd Street and 5th Avenue - this image showcases a striking juxtaposition between a lamppost and a featureless slab-sided skyscraper. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the strange contrasts in shape, form, and color that unfold before our eyes. In this composition, we witness the meeting point of tradition and modernity. On one side stands an old-fashioned street light with its elegant wrought iron design, reminiscent of a bygone era. On the other side looms a sleek skyscraper with its symmetrical windows reflecting the cityscape like mirrors. This stark contrast creates an intriguing visual dialogue between past and present. The vibrant green hue adorning the lamppost adds another layer to this already mesmerizing scene, while black dominates the towering structure behind it. The repetition of floors stacked high into the sky emphasizes both geometric precision and grandeur. As we gaze up towards these contrasting elements against Manhattan's famous grid pattern backdrop, we are reminded that New York City is not only about business, finance, or economy but also about artistry in architecture. Jon Bower has masterfully captured this moment where two worlds collide harmoniously at one intersection – showcasing how even amidst chaos there can be beauty found in unexpected places.
