Evolution of a Metropolis
Skylines that reveal the era that built them. Each piece layers a city's architecture — gilded age facades, mid-century towers, glass and steel — into a single composite, until the different decades start arguing with each other for the skyline. An ongoing series, added to as new cities enter the frame.

About This Series +
Each piece here layers photographs of the same skyline taken across different points in a city's growth into a single frame — Philadelphia, St. Louis, and New York each get their own study. One exposure was never going to hold an era; stacking several is what starts to make the layers read as a timeline instead of a photograph.
