Don’t they realise I’m trying to make art?!
Just joking. It’s just an obsession with reflections that I needed to fuel. It’s the layers, you see? Faint pieces from inside the doors, the city scene behind me, and then the one person who’s standing next to me thinking I need to point my camera the other way.
I love a good city skyline as much as the next person. And seeing New York City from the Staten Island Ferry is just chef’s kiss. Historical architecture punctuates the view while the newer glass facades fade into the sky.
Of course, I took plenty of shots of that view. I couldn’t not.
Turning my back to the view I saw myself in the scene. Being the one who usually takes the photos, it’s a novelty for me to actually be in them. Even as a ghostly figure in the doors of the Staten Island ferry.
Taken on 1 May, 2025 in New York City, New York.
Seen something small worth noticing?
Reply with your own photo. I’d love to see it. There are just 3 rules: one image, no overthinking, bonus points for mediocre lighting.
P.S. I sell prints of my Probably Nothings. If you see something in the newsletter not for sale, let me know.
