On a recent trip to New York City, (Celebrating and sharing our 60th anniversary with family and friends),  I found myself walking the streets I know and am familiar with. But I wasn’t chasing memories, I was watching light on buildings, old and new side by side, window shopping, looking at reflections.

That’s the heart of this new series: MY NY. A personal city, re-seen through years of living, working, and looking more closely. I didn’t set out to document New York, I set out to find its contrasts. Glass and sky. Brick and shadow. Silence in movement.

As photographers, we often talk about capturing moments. But I’ve come to think that with time, photography has become less about capturing and more about vision, letting scenes and spaces show themselves as they are. No chasing. No staging. Just awareness.

What drew me in this time wasn’t nostalgia. It was form, lines, reflections, color and texture. It was what I might not have seen before.

So here it is: MY NY. Not the New York of headlines or postcards—but the one I see now. Familiar and new, distant and deeply close.

REFLECTIONS AT 84 https://www.billboxer.com/blog/2025/4/reflections-at-84 Over the past few years, Close to Home has become more than just a collection of images. It is a meditative journey that invites us to pause, breathe, and feel. These photos don’t just show nature. They evoke emotion, guiding us into a quiet space where we can reflect, meditate and appreciate our immediate surroundings. Look deeper into dew drops, reflections in the stream, aging tree bark, fading flowers and the life cycle of garden wildlife. 

Reflections at 84 features photos not in the Close To Home exhibition and the continuing Close To Home Journey. 

More to come.
