Paterson’s passion
for Architectural studies and ‘urbanscapes’ can
be both hard-edged and surreal, as seen through his images
taken on a visit to New York City in 2006. Where some of the
photographs provide broad views of this world-renowned city,
others give just a glimpse of what it is and might be.
David’s use of Infra-red film and the occasional capture
of a subtle human element adds an air of mystery to his images.
