The World Trade Center - New York City
I took most of the images of the Oculus at the World Trade Center in black and white to give it a reverential feel. I wanted to honour and respect those who have passed. However, this shot I took in colour to capture the quintessential yellow of the New York taxi cab. I once had a flatmate who survived the felling of the twin towers (he was in the restaurant up top when the first plane struck), it haunted him decades on and he suffered from survivors guilt. So it was with his horrific stories in mind, that I visited this part of NYC.
