Was in New York City in the meatpacking district recently and pointed my camera at this guy to take the shot – he decided to ham it up for the lens. His buddy not so much….

La Esquina NYC
This corner place [ La Esquina ]is a great place in the SOHO area to get great Mexican street food plus they have horchata. They key though is to call way in advance and book a table in the surreal and candle lit basement laden with tequilas and a very funky crowd. Maybe you’ll run into Slash.
It wasn’t so long ago
How to explain to my kids that this is how people used to make phone calls and they had to stand there the whole time to get it done?
New York Runway
Two shots from New York Fashion Week. Love the laughs seconds before the walk then the serious face when she hits the runway. I also love how someone is doing hair 3 seconds before the catwalk as if….
New York City Rickshaw Ride
Yesterday was a Motorino across Rome and today had this on my mind in the same theme in NYC. I couldn’t snag a taxi during a particularly busy time and I had to get down toward the Meatpacking district so I hopped on the back of this guy’s rickshaw and we weaved through the traffic. He was a journalist from the Basque country and working as a rickshaw for extra cash.
Ayn Rand Spirit
Made it to the art-deco Atlas statue in NYC at Rockefeller Center just before twilight to snap this shot with the blue sky, chromed bronze, and orange backlight. I’m a big fan of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and of course the image of Atlas on the cover of that book is hard not to think of when standing in this spot in New York City. Sales of this masterpiece refuse to slow down decades after it was printed.
New York City Building
Upper East Side building – loved the design between the windows and got lucky enough to capture the reflected building as well.
Times Square Firemen
There was some alarm going off in Times Square and I happened to be right at the corner where the truck pulled up. Snapped this as the action got going.
Grand Central Station New York
Grand Central Station is such an iconic building with the night sky ceiling and the architecture right out of an Ayn Rand novel. The activity there is great as you can see people going in all sorts of directions, it’s like math in motion. Also love the person exactly at the top of the far stairs with the light behind them.
