Last Sunday’s post included this (above) astonishing photograph, which artfully captures the duality of life in the Big Apple. The photo is from the upcoming exhibition by Stephen Wilkes that will run from September 8 to October 29, 2011 at the ClampArt Gallery in Chelsea, NYC.

Wilkes creates his intense images by setting up cameras above iconic New York locales, taking hundreds of shots from dusk to dawn. he then blends the photos into one large, dramatic image, creating an original hybrid scene.
