Renowned photographer Stephen Wilkes was commissioned for a special photo-shoot assignment for the current issue of New York Magazine. The photograph accompanies an article on the new Highline area in New York City. For this panorama, Stephen Wilkes set up a rotating camera on a cherry picker at Tenth Avenue and shot throughout one day, from noon till 9 p.m.
