| New York, November 12, 2013: "The City and the Storm" Shot on the Wednesday evening after Hurricane Sandy hit, Iwan Baan’s photograph of Manhattan, half aglow and half dark, captured the larger story of a powerful city rendered powerless. A true viral phenomenon, the image became an instant icon of the event—magazine cover that many New Yorkers have saved for posterity. In fact, a poster version was offered for sale by the Museum of Modern Art. |
This portrait shows an amazing example of the after-effects that
Hurricane Sandy made. The lighting's very cool because it shows half of
the city turned on and the other half turned off, which in my point of
view I see it like half of the city is sad because of what had done
Hurricane Sandy. It almost creates a sort of barrier between one side
and the other. It communicates a sense beautiful chaos in the eyes of
the reader.
