New York City

Walking these streets is not about reaching a destination. It is about letting the light fall between steel and glass, about the chance encounters and overlooked corners that tell the story of the everyday.

New York has not lost its hustle. It has not lost its drive, grit or magnificence - it is certainly one of the worl'd’s “Great” cities. Yet as I walk, I find myself wondering if the change I sense belongs to the city or to me (certain it is me). Through The Long Walk, I look for fragments of meaning in the restless, raw beauty of a city that mirrors us back to ourselves.
