About the book:

Now is Now New York presents the restless, electrifying essence of New York through street photography, curated from the distinctive perspectives of different photographers. Their images trace the city's layered realities, from Midtown's neon corridors to the quiet corners of the outer boroughs--capturing the tension between glamour and grit, chaos and stillness, anonymity and intimacy.

RALLENTANDO

Motion, anonymity, and the slowed-down city.

Rallentando. It rolls off the tongue, the musicality apparent in each syllable. The Italian word refers to a gradual decrease in speed. The chorus begins to soften, the tempo is teased out, the voices slow down. Through the lens of photographer Nina Welch-Kling, the chaos of city streets begins to thin, and people pass along in drifts of color as if buoyed along by a breeze.

By grace of her camera handling virtuosity which is simultaneously calligraphic and precise, Nina Welch-Kling achieves a rare atmosphere within which the photographer, the lens and the viewer all share the same visual experience.
