EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of a largely unlit downtown Manhattan during a power blackout caused by Hurricane Sandy. The night sky above is illuminated only by scattered lights, showcasing the resilience and strength of this iconic city in the face of adversity. Taken on October 30,2012, as millions of people grappled with the aftermath of this massive storm, New York City stood in darkness amidst epic flooding and extensive power outages. The low angle view emphasizes the scale and magnitude of the situation, while also highlighting the tranquility that settled over these once bustling streets. The image serves as a stark reminder of our vulnerability to climate change and its devastating consequences. It symbolizes not only air pollution and global warming but also showcases how water can transform an urban landscape into something both eerie and picturesque. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on nature's impact on architecture and infrastructure. The multiple buildings stand tall against a backdrop of dark clouds, creating a striking contrast between man-made structures and the forces beyond our control. Andrew Kelly's creative use of lighting adds depth to this composition, emphasizing both darkness and illumination simultaneously. This photograph is more than just an artistic portrayal; it encapsulates a moment in history when Mother Nature reminded us all that even in one of the world's most vibrant cities, she still holds ultimate power over us all.
