New York 2022

I went to New York in September 2022 and witnessed from inside the bell ceremony at NASDAQ of a company (Rover.com) going public.

I never worked at Rover. However, my wife was back then the VP of accounting and that is how I had the privilege to see everything from the inside.

I have worked in tech myself for most of my life, but never on a US based start-up. Seeing a company go public and witnessing it from the inside, as well as being at the bell ceremony, was surreal. If that is not one of the highlights of the “#americana” hashtag, I don’t know then what it is: Business, money, power… on the city they say, that never sleeps.

I did my best to document the moment, but I also had some time to walk around the city. The photographs you see in this collection are part of those ~3 days in New York city, and you will find a mix of street, architecture and other types of photography.

I understand now the fascination of some photographers (and other artists) with New York. I spent “not enough time” there, and I'm sure I could easily get lost there forever, just walking and doing nonstop photography. I hope I can go back one day and spend more time just wandering.
