"Some say the authentic New York City is dead, but seeing the city through the eyes of his young son, photographer Brian Rose saw it with a fresh perspective Casting aside nostalgia and mourning for the lost city, Rose captures New York as it is today in his latest book, , which showcases all the neighborhoods at the ends of the subway lines Discover how Rose's photos reveal the diversity of ethnicities, languages, and cultures in NYC"
"Having spent a major part of his career photographing the city through often challenging times - the dichotomy of destruction and creativity of the 1980s, the mortal wounding of 9/11, and the suspended animation of the Covid-19 pandemic - Rose was perhaps uniquely equipped to document the city at this moment of political uncertainty under the increased strain of new arrivals, many of whom are refugees from around the world."
Brian Rose spent a year photographing every neighborhood at the ends of New York City subway lines. The project aims to portray New York as a highly diverse, multi-centered metropolis. Rose's long career includes images from the 1980s, 9/11, and the Covid-19 pandemic, giving him perspective to document the city amid political uncertainty and increased arrivals, including refugees. The photographs reveal ethnic, linguistic, and cultural variety and unexpected edge environments, from Tottenville’s rubble-strewn shoreline to Howard Beach bungalows, Jamaica Bay creeks, and hidden granite slabs in Van Cortland Park. The series emphasizes continuity rather than finality.
