After years of photography, I finally got my chance to visit New York City. The first location I wanted to shoot was the overshot and cliché image of Times Square. Except I didn't want to contribute to the endless stream of identical tourist shots of Times Square, that gets taken thousands of times a day 365 days a year on cellphones. I wanted to make something unique. Therein lay my challenge. How do I take one of the most iconic scenes in modern history and create something unique?
I decided to tackle it head on. I googled for days to see what others had done, to try and get some inspiration. After sifting through hundreds of photos on different photo-sharing sites, I concluded cynically that there was no originality and there was no possible way to shoot this that hadn't been done before. But I went anyway. As I rode the underground towards Times Square, armed with my camera gear, I recalled a physics paper I read many years ago. It covered "time". It theorized that the three dimensions (length, width and depth) made up the universe, but that "time" as a seemingly 4th dimension, made every view of the world completely unique, as it is never the same as the second by second, as it was only a few minutes ago.
I decided to experiment with this concept of time to help me create a unique take on this world-famous landmark. But as it turned out, it was an act of pure chance that created this end result, independent from my original plan.
