New York Sleeps: Christopher Thomas - Hardcover
Críticas
Christopher Thomas captures New York City with not one if its 8m residents in sight. Setting out each morning before dawn, with a large formate black-and-white Polaroid film, Thomas photographed the city's most iconic buildings and landscapes. The eerily beautiful results include a rare glimpse of the Brooklyn Bridge without pedestrians and Grand Central Station without its commuters. --Sunday Times Magazine, 23rd August 2009
groundbreaking...a celebration of the ordinary, seen in an extraordinary way. In contemplating these pictures we are forced to slow down, and to look upon this famous city anew --Black + White Photography Magazine, April 2010
This collection by the internationally acclaimed photographer is certainly worth a look. --Professional Photographer, Oct 2009
To treat this book as a set of sequenced images (as good as they are) would be a waste. Take your time: there are layers beneath that are worth sitting down with and exploring. --Black & White Photography Magazine, 1st July 2016
Reseña del editor
Imagine a New York devoid of people, its empty streets, bridges, and waterways as silent and magnificent as an Anselm Adams landscape. This is the New York that Christopher Thomas reveals in duotone photographs that are at once haunting and nostalgic. Employing a large-format Polaroid camera, Thomas shot many of these images in the early hours of the day or with long exposures. The result is a rare glimpse of the Brooklyn Bridge without pedestrians; Grand Central Station without commuters; Fifth Avenue without cars, vendors, workers, or shoppers. Not only do Thomas's photographs allow viewers to appreciate the spatial and architectural splendor of these New York City icons, but they also evoke a dreamlike feeling that is unusual in visual depictions of the city. Timeless, yet unmistakably contemporary, this collection by an internationally acclaimed photographer is an important addition to the pantheon of photographic essays of New York's most beloved settings.
