#1440 MINUTES

NEW YORK CITY#

1440 Minutes New York City, the collective belief in unlimited possibilities.

In a minute, New York City makes itself known. Its knowledge is transmitted as a feeling—a golden hunch that we are among our fellows, that we have found like-minded friends driven by passion. And passion is a liquid that flows along the thoroughfares, seeps into the subway corridors, fills the warehouses and delis, boardrooms and bars. It pumps through the veins of a community that believes in the immeasurable truth that Life Is Good. So as the

sun rises and illuminates

the skyscrapers, the eyes of New York City are not seduced by the magnificent cityscape—great hunks of manicured stone and girder sheared at incredible angles, pointed spires shooting into oblivion; instead, they see their brethren walking in the shadows. For the skyline is not New York; it is a dream, imagined and actualized. And within the unnamed faces that carom in and out of the city’s maze, there are collective visions of unlimited possibility—from bartender to banker, artist to architect—millions of cities within a city. This is Peyman Azhari’s New York.
