Shooting in all seasons and from dawn to dusk, Steinmetz captures the
thrilling complexity and romance of 21st-century New York, with its new
skyline and waterfront landscape, dazzling contemporary architecture and
historic buildings--along with parks and streets and rooftops used for
every possible purpose, and the massive infrastructure that keeps it all
going. Included are such iconic places as Central Park and Times Square,
new landmarks such as the High Line and the September 11 Memorial, One
World Trade Center and other additions to the exclusive list of the
world's tallest buildings, and intriguing sites throughout the five
boroughs. Steinmetz records some of the city's beloved traditions--such
as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, the New York marathon, and the
U.S. Open--but what makes his photographs special is their surprising
intimacy, as they capture New Yorkers going about their lives in their
remarkable city.
