In July 2009, the Design Trust for Public Space awarded the fifth Photo Urbanism fellowship to Kramer O'Neill for his project Same Time Every Day. Mr. O'Neill's ambitious project is "an attempt to reveal moments of grace in the mystery of the city's life, one tiny instant at a time."

For his fellowship, Mr. O'Neill is photographing five distinct locations throughout New York City at the same time, every day (view a Google map of the project). Through this investigation, Mr. O'Neill hopes to illuminate the quotidian, the strange, the beautiful - and show how the city's residents interact with both one another and the surrounding city.

About the Photo Urbanism Program

Photography plays an integral role in the examination, discussion, and re-imagining of New York City's public spaces. The Design Trust's Photo Urbanism program supports this role by offering fellowships to photographers to produce a discrete body of work that explores particular qualities of New York City's natural and built environment. The first five Photo Urbanism projects, each focusing on a different aspect of New York City's public realm, will form a catalog of the city's evolving character and will be published collectively at the program's conclusion.		In 2002, the first fellowship went to Diane Cook and Len Jenshel for The Edge of New York, an exploration of the city's waterfront. The second fellowship was awarded to Jonathan Smith in 2004 for The Bridge Project. Travis Roozée received the third award in 2005 for Portrait of Jamaica Bay. In 2007, the fourth fellowship went to Gail Albert Halaban for her project, Out My Window. Kramer O'Neill was awarded the fifth fellowship in 2009 for Same Time Every Day.
