reflections on the hudson

captured aboard the staten island ferry in new york city, this monochrome photo encapsulates a moment of quiet introspection amid the bustling journey. a man sits in silhouette, deep in thought, or perhaps in conversation, as a child stands by the railing, gazing out at the distant cityscape. the stark contrast between light and shadow, the reflective floor, and the framed view of the skyline create a timeless, almost cinematic feel. it’s a scene that speaks to the juxtaposition of motion and stillness, a fleeting pause in the rhythm of the city.
