Broadway
 

Broadway explores New York City's greatest avenue, traversing many social and economic demographics, it continues to define the big apple in the 21st century.

Since embarking on Broadway in late 2006, and even before that, I have always been mesmerized at how life unfolds on the streets of New York. Pedestrians, cars, bicycles and anything imaginable moving in and out within mere inches of each other, even with the chaos surrounding everything in a city of this magnitude people seem to be in their own world. From daily commuters rushing past one another to work as if neither existed to tourists gazing into the lights of Times Square the heartbeat of New York can be found on Broadway. These photographs explore simple and fleeting moments.

Originally Broadway was a Native American foot trail, soon taken over by the first Dutch settlers. Running from Bowling Green at the tip of Manhattan winding its way through the financial and theatre districts, times square, the bronx and small towns on the hudson river eventually coming to an end near Sleepy Hollow in Westchester County. Broadway defines New York, yet is constantly changing. These photographs are a record of Broadway its residents and visitors. This is still a work in progress...
