I had a blast working on this JR piece about immigration that is on the cover of today’s New York Times Magazine, Walking New York.

“We pasted Elmar, 20 years old who came from Azerbaijan, on the floor of Flatiron Plaza in New York City. The image was 150 feet high. People walked on him all day and no one really noticed him. Today he is on the cover of NY Times Magazine while everyone else is in the shadow.”

I’m so honored to have my first (and hopefully not my last) NY Times assignment published on page A16 of today’s paper. If you get a copy, check it out or click on this link to read the article and watch the video online:

My heart is full, absolutely grateful, and still a bit shocked.
