SUMMER THUNDER by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
I made this photograph last summer, standing on Vesey St. in Battery Park. The light had been incredible that afternoon, a mixture of hazy sun and dark skies. Eventually the clouds reached their breaking point and the torrent began.
The business day was coming to a close and all the suit-and-ties leaving work darted about like confused cats, hoping to stay dry at all costs. I constantly wiped the eyepiece of my viewfinder, which seemed to fog up again the instant I put my eye to it.
The water rushed over the curbs , ousting the businessmen from their hiding spot as another gust stole an umbrella. I shoved my camera inside my bag, stepped into the downpour from the cover of my awning, and walked to the corner of North End.
My shirt soaked through in the 20 seconds it took me to get there.
anyone fancy a game?

MILLENIUM by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
This is the covering of the entryway at the Millenium hotel in lower Manhattan. I stayed here briefly when I was really young during an apartment move…to be honest I haven’t walked by and stopped to see the place since then.
Love the illusory nature of the lines here.
Dull sky above my head as waterborne winds crashing against my face, masses of anonymous nine-to-fivers rushing past me, late for their afternoon engagements.
Through the iris of glass and steel the city reveals itself to me.
