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.”
