Any other day, his shirt is black.
New York City takes time away from you, and time to know.
Hovering five storeys above Chinatown’s industrious streets is a hidden pool hall. Synergistic in colour; brought to you by this man – the owner.
As pool was played, I observed the weight of his working body shift from two points to three, and finally to one sand-settled elongation upon the couch. I realised a living room.
Back in Melbourne, I asked a friend in New York to obtain permission from the owner to use this image. A few days later, the pool hall unexpectedly closed down.
Any given day, he isn't there.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
