Manhattan Bridge

Manhattan Bridge, New York City

"Bridges are perhaps the most invisible form of public architecture." Bruce Jackson

I had to entertain a few friends who came to visit me in NYC and we decided to go take a water taxi to the Statue of Liberty. When we set sail it was the most perfect day but by the time we arrived at Lady Liberty it all turned around. It was one of the biggest, fastest storms I've ever encountered. Rain or not, New York City still looks beautiful!

Floating Candy

South Street Seaport, New York City

"Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker." Ogden Nash

Coming towards this guy, from a distance I thought that the cotton candy was actually floating in the air. When I get closer I could see that they were attached to a stand that he was holding. It was a dark gloomy day and the vibrant colors of the cotton candy created this magnificent contrast with the surrounding area.  This was shot at South Street Seaport in Manhattan.

Home Sweet Home!

86th Street Station, New York City

"We are dangerously close to accepting the homeless situation as a problem that we just can't solve." Linda Linge

86th Street Metro Station in NYC is one of your everyday metro stops but for this man it's his home. I have came across him several times but not once he had asked for a donation. He is either reading the newspaper or sleeping.
