About the Winter Gardens and Voyage

 

 

These images were photographed from around 1993 to 2005. Though it is not about the gardens nor actual voyage. It was my attempt to input my feelings and emotions in the images.                            I was not(& am not)interested in depicting gardens,Central Park nor New York.                          

I hoped to shoot all in Europe, because I got the inspiration from the classical musics I love, the musics that originate in Europe.

Unfortunately, my financial situation did not allow me to do it. So, I had to shoot most of them in New York, mostly in my neighborhood Upper West Side.
