Known professionally as 13th Witness, this born-and-raised New Yorker has amassed more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, where he posts intimate portraits, landscapes from his frequent global travels. Now for the first time, 13th Witness: The City collects the photographer s signature dynamic city pictures celebrated landmarks and little-seen corners of New York s five boroughs. Images include well-known attractions like NY Harbor and Statue of Liberty; One World Trade Center; Empire State Building; Central Park; Brooklyn Bridge; Coney Island; Met Park Slope; Grand Army Plaza; and Rockaway Beach. His photos also drill down below the popular sights and include defunct subway stations, train yards, skate parks, and blacktop basketball courts all a testament to the photographer s hustle and grit and a dazzling chronicle of his point of view of his hometown New York City in the twenty-first-century. Dizzying aerials, empty perhaps with the exception of the photographer s close-knit posse, and his street-centric vision of NYC is sure to appeal not only to his loyal fanbase but those the world over looking for a fresh new vision of the beloved city.
