We were stranded. Locked 800 feet above Times Square in what was one of the most severe storm I've witnessed. As anxiety provoking as the night was, it was a moment I've dreamt of for years. While we lurked in the shadows above, the bright lights of Times Square shined through the heavy rain creating a luminous haze beneath us. "Until Infinity" represents the feeling of conquering the "impossible" and reclaiming a piece of our city. "Until Infinity" is an individual photograph from my upcoming project, "Visitors - A City Unseen". "Visitors" is an ongoing curation of images extensively documenting both, the secretive culture of urban exploration and New York City's restricted views over a 10 year timespan. In order to properly document such a culture, I had to be immersed in it. I had to give my life to the culture of exploring the unseen. Countless sleepless nights, close calls, life threatening climbs, encounters with NYPD, and overwhelming feelings of conquering the "impossible" have gone into this project in the pursuit of pure creative freedom.
