This week’s photo was sent in by regular contributor Gavin Burke. “It’s of the Manhatten skyline from New Jersey,” he says. “I took it back in 1998, when I was on an early evening walk. The poles in the water are from the old piers, which are now long gone: the area’s been turned into a modern housing development with quays for private boats. I like the contrast of the woodenness of the piers and the modernity of the cityscape.” He took the picture on 35 millimetre film with an Nikon FE2 camera. “I pushed the film slightly to increase the contrast and the graininess,” he says. We like the way that the posts in the water echo the shape of the skyscrapers in the distance, and the way that you can’t see a single person in one of the most densely-populated areas of real estate in the world. We love getting your photos, wherever and wherever you took them, so keep them coming in.
