"Inspired by Eléna Rivera’s poem "September" I decided to use cyanotype for the development of this collaborative broadside. My first thoughts were to use a combination of photographs from different places I’ve made through the years, but at the end this one taken from New York High Line seemed perfect for the feelings that the poem imprinted on me.
