I ♥ NY

Who doesn't love NYC? I could spend hours upon hours just walking around shooting pictures. From the sights of the buildings and parks to the people (and we all know how some of the people in NY can be). It's endless!


When I bought my first camera, I didn't really know what I wanted to shoot. I just saw something I liked or found interesting, and took the picture. As the years went on, I started hunting for the things that I wanted to shoot. It made photography THAT much more fun for me! It was like an actual scavenger hunt! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those spur of the moment "gotta catch this on camera" photos too!

When my niece was born, I went camera crazy! It's not that hard to photograph a newborn but once they start to crawl and cruise, all bets are off! I have a fast camera, but sometimes you still miss that moment you were hoping to catch.
 I started to focus more on landscapes. Nothing captures me more than Central Park in the Fall or Spring. No matter how many times I've been there, I always go back during these seasons! I've yet to take pictures in the Winter with snow because unless you get the fresh snow, it's just not the same. Maybe one day...

Last year, High Line Park was introduced over by Gansevoort Street and the meat packing district. Old elevated freight railroad spurs were redesigned and planted into an aerial greenway. The city preserved some of the original tracks, which I thought was pretty cool. The debut of this thing was almost as big as those huge waterfalls that were strategically placed throughout the city (which I never got a chance to check out).
 Being that I went on one of the first weekends it opened, I really couldn't stop as often as I liked. I kind of had to keep moving because of the heavy traffic of people. The tourist were out in full force that day. Every single person had a camera and took a picture of every bit of the entire "park".
In all honesty, I really didn't take that many pictures that day. I spent more time looking at the view from the park rather than what was going on in the actual park. I think I was more fascinated that I was able to see the  Diane Von Furstenberg building and was secretly hoping that I'd see Whitney Port come walking out and snap her photo (for all of you non MTV reality show fans, Whitney Port is from the show "The City").
I did however, take one of my favorite photos that day (My other fav. being one taken in Central Park).

Fav. #1- High Line tracks

                      Fav. #2- Central Park, Fall

 I'm always searching for that one photo that I want to blow up and hang on my wall in my apartment. I'm not sure I've gotten there yet but I'm certain that it will be of something "New York".  I think I find one that I love enough to hang on my wall but after a week or so, I say "Nope. Not it"
Out of 100 pictures I might take on any given day, I usually end up only loving one or two and that could be considered a good day! Here are a few from Central Park in the Spring and Fall and High Line Park.
