The city that never sleeps, New York City, New York, 2010

At night, New York City becomes a study in lights. I made this wide-angle image from my window as rain clouds, tinged with orange, rolled over the illuminated skyline of midtown Manhattan. The Chrysler Building’s fiery crown may be the focal point of this image, but the glowing window at the bottom right was just as important to me. It is a rear window of a brownstone apartment building only a few yards away from my vantage point, the only window illuminated in its area. It offers a contrasting lone counter point to the massed array of lights in the skyscrapers beyond, a reminder that New York is a city that never seems to sleep.

I am sure that Gothic and Gotham are related. Gotham was first used as nickname for New York by the novelist Washington Irving, and later as a fictional name of the city in the Batman comics and films. And yes, the image is full of mystery as a city sleeps -- but not everyone.

Mysterious and Gothic, perhaps inspiration for Gotham City.
