This edition of “Reasons to Love New York” has three covers, culled from Platon’s portfolio
of New York immigrants of every age inside the issue. The portfolio is
organized by age, from 1 month to 91. “We were thinking about what would
make a great story played out over three covers, and thought about the
three generations of immigration,” says New York photography director Jody Quon
. The family portrayed on the cover is a baby born a citizen, whose
mother is a dreamer, and whose grandmother is undocumented. “So you get
the full arc of New York immigrants in the progression of the covers.”
