Andrew Berger and L. Donald Prutzman are representing photographer Sherry Mills in her A Closer NY™ campaign. A Closer NY™ is a series of close-up photographs of New York City intended for large-scale display on local walls and billboards. All of the photographs are close-up snapshots of objects depicted as they exist on the byways and buildings of New York.  As Ms. Mills states, “by taking what is right in front of us on a small scale, and blowing it up on a massive scale, a newfound observation of our surroundings becomes inescapable.”

Ms. Mills, partnering with Clear Channel Outdoor, will display these photographs on three NYC billboards and over 75 Taxi Tops between May and October 2009. A photo of one of the billboards that had been on display at 30th and 9th Avenues in Manhattan through June 30 appears below. For more information, please see Ms. Mills’ website at www.ACLOSERNY.com .
