NYC Analog Series — Nostalgia (Ongoing Project)

New York is the city that never sleeps, except for a brief window between 6 and 9 a.m. on a Monday, when everything feels suspended in time.

This analog series focuses on those in-between moments. Scenes that don’t clearly belong to the present. Faces, streets, and details that could exist in any decade. The goal isn’t to document the chaos of the city, but the quiet nostalgia hidden beneath it.

Shot on film, the images blur time and atmosphere, turning New York into a place that feels both familiar and slightly out of reach.
