This photo-illustrated cityscape montage captures the raw pulse and quiet poetry of urban life — from the backstreets of New Jersey to the heart of New York City. Blending grit with grandeur, each frame tells a story of contrast and connection, where shadows, steel, and skyline merge into a portrait of the Northeast like no other. A tribute to the overlooked corners and iconic views that shape the soul of the city — with surprises hidden in plain sight… even a man on the moon.
