Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square has been billed as the “World’s Largest Store” since 1924, even if London’s Harrods matches the vastness of its selling space. I made this image just outside of its doors -- a customer has just made a purchase and appears to be having a phone conversation. A friend waits patiently, while Calvin Klein beckons behind their back. I was drawn to the red star on the Macy’s bag – the only real color in the photograph outside of the skin tones. It gives the image its identity and its sense of place.
