A photographer has captured New York turning from day to night in a photo project expressing his "deep love" for the city. Stephen Wilkes spent up to 15 hours at a time perched on a cherry picker to take up to 1,000 pictures of Big Apple locations. He then blended around 50 of these photographs into single images capturing the bustle of the city before and after the sun sets. Half of each picture shows the scene in broad daylight while the other depicts the same scene at night. Stephen's 'Day To Night' series has captured familiar locations including Times Square and Park Avenue, while his picture of the Flat Iron building includes the poignant sight of the Tribute in Light, a memorial to the World Trade Center.
