TWR photographer’s twin win

They say New York is the city that never sleeps. 

But for years, photojournalist and Weekly contributor Stephen McKenzie could visit Manhattan only in his dreams – mostly vain attempts to reach the World Trade Centre’s twin towers. 

Last month, after six visits to New York, a cheerier dream came true for him. 

Three of McKenzie’s photographs were chosen by the See.Me collective for inclusion in The Story of the Creative, a NYC exhibition of multimedia works by international artists. The show runs until September 10. 

It gets better: from August 9 to 16, McKenzie has a solo show at Brooklyn’s Urban Folk Art Gallery. 

If good things really come in threes, the Guggenheim might be in touch one day soon.
