Staten Island Ferry black and white | Limited Edition of 10
As I observed the Staten Island Ferry making its way across the water, the rhythmic churning of waves created a soothing narrative of everyday journeys. The ferry, a symbol of New York's bustling life, appeared serene against the calm waters. I captured this moment in black and white, which brought a timeless essence to the everyday scene, accentuating the simple beauty of urban routine amidst the expansive water.
The black and white palette brought forth the contrasts, not just in the scene but in life's journey — the constant move amidst stillness. The silhouette of the ferry against the smooth texture of water created a simplistic yet profound imagery, reflecting the essence of daily commutes and life's undying momentum.
The Staten Island Ferry, with its iconic status, represents a slice of New York's dynamic life, offering a glimpse into the city's pulse and the serene moments that can be found in daily routines.
This fine-art photograph encapsulates the tranquil journey of the Staten Island Ferry amidst the calm waters. The print invites one to delve into the soothing rhythm of daily life, to find beauty in routine, and to appreciate the serene moments amidst the urban hustle.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
