NEW YORK COVERED IN ASHES

"NY Covered in Ashes" taken with my 35mm film camera applying the double exposure technique in New York on June 7th, 2023 when the skies of NY were covered in ashes due to the forest burnings in Canada, is part of my “NEW YORKERS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTS” series. Where I focused on different streets and areas of New York that capture the surroundings and locations where New Yorkers may cross on their way to work as landmarks. It reveals the true essence of the daily life of New Yorkers in one of the most if not the most cosmopolitan and challenging city in the world.
