Pier 76 terminal before renovation New York City | Limited Edition of 10
This photograph offers a glimpse of Pier 76 in New York City before its renovation, portraying a slice of urban history poised on the brink of transformation. The image shows the terminal in its raw state, a monument to the industrial era with its vast, open structure and the skeletal remains of its utilitarian design. The Hudson River provides a calm backdrop, with the water lending a sense of stillness to the scene.
The pier's steel and concrete framework stands out against the sky, while traces of wear and tear on the structure narrate the passage of time. This was a place of transit and trade, where the pulse of the city's commerce once throbbed along the waterfront.
Capturing this photograph, I was aware of the layers of the city's evolution before me, encapsulated in the weathered textures and the silent strength of the pier. It's a scene that's distinctly New York—gritty, resilient, and ever-changing.
In its pre-renovation state, Pier 76 was a canvas of potential, and this photograph is a moment frozen before the onset of new beginnings, a testament to the city's relentless reinvention.

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.
