"Circle of light," New York, December 2006

Looking west in the park

In 2006, Dutch designer Tord Boontje erected a light show in Union Square Park during the holidays. I took dozens of photos, because no two were the same. The circle created by the light would scatter whenever someone walked across it, as if the light were a solid object able to be knocked out of the way by the feet of New Yorkers passing through.
