As a resident of New York City, I spent two years photographing people in the subway engaged in acts of affection. I used only my iPhone camera, so I was able to inconspicuously capture these moments of love. I had just started to form the project in my mind two years ago when I suddenly went through a painful breakup of a long-term relationship. For a couple weeks, the last thing I wanted to do was see people happy and in love. But I realized that I didn't want to give up on the project, and I was going to fight through the sadness and keep photographing. And remarkably, photographing others in love helped me get through the pain of my own heartbreak - it gave me hope and comfort during a time when I needed it the most. This is my love letter to New York City.
