Week in Pictures

Finally after weeks of shooting I feel like I have shot some pictures worth while. Some of these are better than others but they all have a unique story to tell.

New York: Part Three

Sorry for the long drawn out New York posts. This Lady Liberty installment is the final post from our trip.

New York: Part Two

During our trip to New York we took an evening walk through Time Square. Angie and I made our way to the median in the middle of the lanes of traffic. As I made a few images of the lights and buildings I started to notice this crazy phenomenon I was a part of. Person after person come to the center of the road, some in the road, to take pictures of this well known area of the Big Apple. So instead of the buildings I turned my camera on the people. There were many more photos that I took this evening and I think we only spent maybe 15 minutes there.
