Four Seasons, Central Park, SUMMER, Day to Night, ™ 2024
Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of creating a new Day to Night™ series capturing Central Park through the shifting seasons. Inspired by Claude Monet’s Haystack series (1890–1891), in which he painted the same scene across different times of year, I set out to photograph Central Park from the exact same vantage point in each season, weaving together a visual narrative of this iconic landscape.
This breathtaking view showcases the park’s ever-changing beauty—its vast greenery, bustling visitors, and the subtle transformations that define each season. The image was taken on the Fourth of July, and I was fortunate to capture fireworks illuminating the sky from both New York City and New Jersey, adding a vibrant layer to this evolving portrait of time.
