Two Bits Retro Arcade, NYC
This incredible image was taken in a now-closed amusement arcade in Lower East Side, Manhattan. Within the vintage games and sexy pinball machines, this guy sits waiting for his moment of life, to serve and wait. Nothing more, nothing less. The canvas, that is the wall it sits on, is the perfect microcosm of the Lower East Side. Every voyager left something to be remembered by, like a wall of remembrance for the pinball wizards of downtown NYC. It’s almost camouflaged from the scrawls and paint. It's so dark the picture doesn't do it justice, the shutter was actually open for two and a half minutes, which as you can imagine, automatically creates suspicions among the punters.
What is the difference between Open Edition and Limited Edition prints?
Open edition prints only come in one size and are simply printed on Matt Archival paper and shipped straight to you. There is no limit to how many will be printed.
Limited Edition prints are typically printed on a Gloss paper, come in several sizes and finish options (framing / acrylic mount), and are signed and editioned by Sam. There are a limited number printed in each size and once they're gone they're gone.

Samuels art makes our house feel alive and vibrant. I am forever finding new details within each image. Samuel was extremely helpful when helping us find the perfect images for our home. He was always extremely friendly and personable as well as highly professional.
Rickie Haywood-Williams, BBC Radio 1
His work is so unique and arresting. He is somehow able to capture the 'ordinary' in a way that makes it feel truly extraordinary. I'm so excited to see his work in our home.

Could we ever need more insight than we do now about how to dry our hands in washrooms while touching almost nothing? Samuel Ryde, a British photographer, pays homage to air blowers
