New York City Waterfront with World Trade Center | Limited Edition of 10
Sailboat on New York Waterfront with World Trade Center
This photograph captures a unique moment along the New York City waterfront, with the One World Trade Center standing tall in the skyline. What immediately catches my eye is the balance between the old-world charm of the sailboat in the foreground and the modern architectural marvels rising behind it. The contrast between the sleek, geometric lines of the buildings and the graceful, flowing curves of the sailboat’s sails creates a juxtaposition that feels like a dialogue between the past and the present.
The monochrome treatment gives the image a timeless quality, almost like it could have been taken decades ago—yet the presence of the World Trade Center firmly grounds it in the modern day. The buildings' reflections on the calm water below add another layer of depth, amplifying the connection between the city and its river.
What strikes me most is how the image captures both motion and stillness. The sailboat glides effortlessly across the water, a scene that has been a familiar sight in New York for centuries. Meanwhile, the towering structures behind it seem to stand frozen, eternal, unshaken by the passage of time. It’s a perfect blend of dynamic and static elements woven into this city's very fabric.
This shot was about capturing a moment of contrast—a classic sailboat moving gracefully in the shadow of modern skyscrapers. The monochrome palette simplifies the scene, allowing the interplay of shapes and light to take center stage. This balance between old and new makes New York City so visually fascinating.
Experience the rhythm, scale, and grit of the city that never sleeps with the New York Wall Art Collection—real moments from the streets and skyline, captured in timeless detail.

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.
