About This Image

Pictured here is the the East River side of Lower Manhattan where the south ferry terminals are. This is the part of Manhattan where you’d leave by ferry for Staten Island and Governor’s Island. The two ferry terminals at the front of the waterfront are the Beaux-Arts style Battery Maritime Building and the modern Whitehall Ferry Terminal.

As an added bonus, I even managed to catch a boat crossing the scene for foreground interest! It all comes together to really capture the waterfront vibe of lower Manhattan, a dense cityscape that almost seems to rise out of the water.

Even though I took this photo, I still look at the Manhattan skyline in this print and it feels like CGI to me. I think, and maybe this betrays my small town origins, that it’s just hard for the mind to comprehend this urban jungle of skyscrapers as being anything remotely real. The density and scale of Manhattan architecture is just awe inspiring.

It’s funny how long I had put off visiting New York City. I flew over a few times even made connections at the local airports, but it was only the chance to meet up with friends I hadn’t seen in awhile that finally got me to visit and now I’m truly sorry it took me so long to check out NYC! I’m not sure I’m made for a city this big but it is truly a world class city and I could spend ages documenting it’s beautiful skyline alone and not get tired.

But it’s the waterfront that I most connected with. I love that you are never really far from the water. People still take the ferry with some matter of a routine nature and the city is very much connected to the East River and New York Harbor. It’s still a city connected to the sea.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
