Hello all!
So it is this time of the year again... When I will be running and shooting between earth and skies on New Yorkers rooftops.
And for this season again, I NEED YOUR HELP!
For those who don't know the RTS yet, the concept is simply documenting New Yorkers' life and activity on their rooftops... I shoot wherever people welcome me, in the 5 boroughs and at any time of day or night... The shoot never takes more than half an hour, and each rooftop owner gets a signed print at the end of the season.
So, PLEASE email me if you have a friend who cooks / reads / sings / dances / loves / meditates / contemplates / creates... on his roof, call me when you go to a rooftop party, text me if you see an amazing rooftop from your window... (I have a giant print of my phone number (true) that I can use to attract attention...)
Thanks so much for your help, this is a very important project for me, The images from the past seasons have been published and exhibited widely and I am hoping to publish a book soon...
For those of you who travel this summer, after the prestigious exhibition at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris in 2010, the Rooftop Stories will be exhibited in Le Bon Marche in Paris from June to August 2011.
Thanks again and special kisses to those who have spread the word and supported the RTS since the beginning!

I was just wondering, why the roof? When I think about a roof, the most I could associate it to, in terms of life or living, are rooftop parties - that and those superhero movies where the heroes and villains jump and fight from roof to roof.

Sorry Richard for the late answer, i was never notified of your message... Why the roof? Because, like you, I thought that there was no other use for roofs than to cover a house and i discovered that there is a real everyday life on rooftops in NYC. That's why I still document it today!
thanks for folowing my work
