Moon Landing

In reBirth of a City we find the ever changing architectural skyline of New York which is sprinkled with wooden water towers. The these photos hold on to the one consistent object of New York and for a moment adding the female form subtly softening the skyline.

Bringing together images of our patriotic symbols, our vast and varied landscapes, and the tapestry of our humanity poses the question, in a time of heated debate: What does it mean to be an American?
