Dear Reader,

This past January, my friend Julian and I began throwing around an idea for a photo book documenting New York beyond the city. While this project is in its early stages, I wanted to share a brief excerpt from our recent trip to Tarrytown and Cold Spring. The goal of this project is to document these towns and locales as we experience them and relay that experience as best we can through the mediums of photography and poetry. Hopefully, in doing so, we capture the extraordinary hidden in the ordinary, the mystic bound up in the mundane.

Enjoy!
