Courier, New York City, New York, 2009

I followed the course of this FedEx courier as he pushed a bin full of deliveries up the slope of Murray Hill in midtown Manhattan. As he reached the crest of the hill at Park Avenue and 34th Street, I made this image of him, using a fairly wide aperture and a long telephoto lens. I was able to focus selectively on him, using the crowds around him as softly focused context. The purple in his gloves and uniform also help distinguish him from others. The flow of such couriers from building to building are an indication of the pace and intensity of business in the heart of New York City.
