Growing up, my parents have always told me their goal of visiting every state in the country. In the summer of 2024, my family and I went to New York City to experience the iconic landmarks and immerse ourselves in the city’s vibrant history. Taken on 35mm film, this series captures the city's ever-changing rhythm—from the quiet solitude of a street corner to the vibrant chaos of Times Square. Each print also invites the viewer to reflect on how small moments like these can become cherished memories that ultimately make the city so special.
