Manhattan Lightscape

Architectural photographer Nathaniel Lieberman sees New York in terms of light: the light of dawn casting a honey-coloured glow over the East River; the light of dusk soothing the stately structures on Central Park West; and artificial light setting midtown Manhattan ablaze at night. Taken from high on top of New York's skyscrapers and from its bridges and boroughs, these 55 vistas portray this powerful city. There is an introduction by Mark Helprin, quotes about New York by a host of literary residents and visitors - past and present - and an arial view of Manhattan.
