I have complained about the postcards of NYC for quite a while, but have not done anything about it. It’s time to stop complaining and start shooting!

Postcards have their place in the world and in our hearts. Most are beautiful to look at, but very little do they leave us with more than a visual memory of the city. They are usually shots of landmarks during sunset or cityscape at night.

Where is the soul of the city and its people? Wouldn’t it be nice if postcards can provide the viewer with an alternative view of our beautiful city? It’s probably not the function of postcard photos, but is it possible for a photographer to capture the beauty of the city with its soul and body? I believe that it’s more than possible. It has been a pet project that I’ve been toiling on when not shooting or editing weddings.

I started this project one rainy day in Chinatown. I hope to eventually cover the whole city (which I know that it may take years). I’m looking forward to publishing a coffee table book featuring my collection of NYC picture postcards.

Let me know if you would like to be a collector of one of my first very limited editions.
