New York As A Way Of Seeing. It is hard – in that obtuse, inhuman way which may or may not delight horror writers – not to be enthusiastic about New York. It is true what they say about the pulse, the energy here – but what does this mean? All you have to do is take to the streets, where everything seems to be happening. Here, behind closed doors must be just about the most boring place one could be. The streets. Walk with me? We do so, dumbfounded, because our origins matter. Forget terms like melting pot, you say, holding my hand.

You spend time with a good book, a good friend, a lover, but there are cities and settings that just carry you with them, that make you forget yourself, that give you a new chance, every time. How relaxed and fashionable, how effortlessly cool, as though the city itself dresses and undresses all its tenants so that they seem they have humbled out of a really hip independent film, something that the Cannes festival would definitely love. And here comes the million dollar question. Day view of Manhattan, New York, USA. In 2006 I shot our very first spherical aerial panorama, from which the AirPano project started, in the beautiful place of the Colorado and the San Juan rivers confluence (USA): The result was overwhelming – by looking at the large screen one had a total illusion of flying over the canyon. And so we decided to continue our experiments.

The next attempt was made in 2007 above the island of Manhattan. I remember this photo shoot by one funny detail: there were no headphones for passengers in the helicopter's cabin. I had to shout from the back seat (while trying to overcome the engine roar that was coming from the open door) to let the pilot know where to go. He didn't hear me anyway, so in order to change the shooting position I had to tap on his shoulder and then – after he looked at me – I had to point the direction with my finger where the thumb down meant moving lower. And guess how I showed him to go higher :) It was fun. Since that time the island has changed dramatically.
