An Englishman in New York

Jason Bell, Photographer
It's taken in front of the Chrysler building and I chose that because I remember being obsessed with New York as a child and in particular the Chrysler which remains one of my favorite buildings. That just had a potency for me as a kid so when I came full circle, that seemed the obvious location. And then I included in the picture the cable release because Zoe Heller (a British author also in the book) pointed out to me that I had pretty much photographed everyone in the book doing what they do and that's what New York is all about: what do you do?
