APRIL 2025 PRINT SALE
“New York City like you’ve never seen it.” — Opening Ceremony.
Dear Friends,
I’ve been thinking about Walt Whitman again—Walt the yawper from rooftops, the container of multitudes, the poet of democracy. He believed fervently not just in the promise of democracy, but in the power of poets and artists to help shape it. For Whitman, poetry wasn’t a luxury—it was a vital force.
I’m not a poet with words, but I’ve spent years photographing New York City with a lensless pinhole camera, using long exposures and medium format film to transform the city into a moody, mysterious Gotham. These photographs are one of the ways I try to get at poetry.
It’s been a while since my last online sale, but this month I’m making four of my NYC pinhole photographs available for purchase. Through the end of April, you can buy signed, archival giclée prints in your choice of size:
Available Sizes + Prices
5 x 5 inches – $100
12 x 12 inches – $250
24 x 24 inches – $500
36 x 36 inches – $1000
Order by April 15 and receive 10% off any print size.
Bonus! Orders of all prints include a free 28-page zine featuring a selection of my NYC pinhole photos. Or you can just buy a copy of the zine, titled Lo-fi Photographs of the Great Metropolis, for $20.
Delivery: All orders will be securely shipped (or delivered) by mid-May, depending on when your order was made. If you're in NYC, I'll try to hand-deliver your print.
Scroll down for purchasing and to see large images of the four photos.
Thank you for supporting this work!
Warmly,
Stefan

Pinhole NY zine: Lo-fi Photographs of the Great Metropolis
Pinhole New York
I have been taking pinhole photographs of New York City since 1991. My images have been exhibited at the Alan Klotz Gallery and Soho Photo Gallery in New York and in group shows juried by, among others, Larry Gagosian and Molly Barnes. In addition to being in private collections throughout the US, Europe, and Japan, my photos are included in the acclaimed book Out of Focus: Pinhole Cameras and Pinhole Photographs; film and television productions such as Billions and Creed; and The Clocktower Restaurant at Ian Schrager’s New York EDITION hotel.
