Chaos

32nd Street, New York City

"Chaos in the world brings uneasiness, but it also allows the opportunity for creativity and growth." Tom Barrett

You know how they say a picture can say a million words? Well this is one of those pictures. In this frame we can see all of New York City. Yes all of New York City can be seen in this picture.

If you look closely you can see all New York City has to offer - high-end shops, restaurants, the famous taxi-cabs, skyscrapers, architecture, adverts, the Subway, pedestrians and lots more.

One of the places you can see this scene in New York City is 32nd Street exactly by Macy's. In my opinion it is even busier than Times Square and I always found it more interesting than Times Square itself. Some people hate New York City because of its chaos and fast pace living and those two reason are exactly why I love the City.

Brothers in the Sky

Columbus Circle, New York City

"The city of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassone. Walking between the magnificient skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags." Henry Miller

This is probably one of those pictures that is very close to my heart. It is in my top three all time favorites. It's one of those pictures that is taken in a hurry due to circumstantial events and still turns out to be great. It's one of those pictures that everyone time you look at it you discover something new. 

These two giant skyscrapers can be found at Columbus Circle, Midtown Manhattan. It's one of my favorite spots in all of New York City. The drama never seizes to exist in this part of town and even if you go there a million times you will always discover that new thing that somehow you always missed seeing.

Luckily enough for me, when I shot this picture the weather was terrible. It happens to be my favorite kind of weather and the clouds add more drama to the picture. So now you see why this picture is one of my favorites - dreary weather, Columbus circle, New York City and skyscraper...all subjects very close to my heart. Add those together and you get a picture like the one you are seeing here.
