“Having lived in New York City for many decades, I have never envisioned it from above - I experienced it only from within. Karsten has a point of view of New York City - that to my knowledge - no one else had before him! Karsten is a photographer who is not afraid of the 'Edge', because he has been on the 'Edge' so many times.”
