Description
Discover the awe-inspiring visual journey of LA NY, a captivating book that merges art, science, and photography. This brand new masterpiece, published by Thames and Hudson Ltd in 2017, features stunning aerial photographs that explore the unique urban landscapes of Los Angeles and New York City. Each image is carefully captured at a 90-degree angle, allowing you to see how the cities' urban grids harmonize with their natural topographies. This detailed exploration covers everything from residential neighborhoods to bustling commercial districts, parks, and iconic landmarks. The book also highlights the intricate designs of suburban housing developments and the infrastructures that connect these vibrant cities.
LA NY isn’t just a visual feast; it's a meticulous study of urban planning and architectural aesthetics. Photographer Milstein, who grew up in Los Angeles and now resides in New York, uses high-resolution cameras in a stabilizing gyro to capture breathtaking views. His keen interest in the geometries of culture reveals hidden patterns that often go unnoticed at ground level. From the excitement of events like Macy's Day Parade to serene beach outings, each photograph tells a story about urban life.
Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a photography lover, or someone interested in urban studies, LA NY is the perfect addition to your collection. Order now to embark on this extraordinary visual exploration!

Description:
LA NY is a dazzling visual tale of two cities, Los Angeles and New York, photographed from the air, shooting straight down at a 90 degree angle to emphasize the particular patterns of place and how the urban grid adapts to local topography - and, indeed, how the topography is itself adapted to human purposes. These two most distinct and distinguished cities are revealed in astonishing detail, as Milstein explores residential and commercial neighbourhoods, parks and recreation spots, as well as industrial districts and the infrastructure of transportation. Iconic buildings and landmarks appear, but also the compelling geometries of suburban housing developments, apartment complexes, commercial hubs, entertainment and financial centres, as well as airports and shipping terminals. His work combines architecture, science and art.
Using high resolution cameras mounted to a stabilizing gyro, Milstein leans out of helicopters over Los Angeles where he grew up and over New York where he now lives, looking for shapes and patterns of culture from above, continually awed by the difference between the aerial view and the view on the ground. His topologist's interest emphasizes the abstraction of pattern and reveals aspects of urban design and planning of both cities. In addition to the urban topography, certain events and activities have also been captured, such as the Macy's Day Parade and outings at the beach.
