Big Apple Shots

Hey my lovely readers, today I leave you a post filled with lots of Big Apple shots that I collected over the last few years while I lived in New York City. During my "imaginary photographer career" many people told me that I got an eye for details, and this post shows that pretty well, I'd say. You know, when I'm walking through the city the weirdest things catch my attention - stickers on walls, scooters adorned with sequins, scissors on trees and coffins on the street! Coffins? You heard me right, in NYC anything is possible - people put the most awkward things in the weirdest places.
I took these pictures during one of my infamous "photo tours" through the city. Participants: Just me and my cam... well and my eye for details. I didn't even own a SLR camera back then, just a regular digital cam, and still managed to take pretty unusual pics.

Hope you get the chance to check out New York City's unique vibes yourself some day (that means if you're not already a lucky New Yorker citizen). Enjoy the pics ;-)

Out of the Night you burn, Manhattan

Hey guys, today you get to see some night-shots of the concrete jungle!
I took these photos all around Manhattan - some in Soho, others in Tribeca, most of them in Midtown. Some from a rooftop, in the park, on the street or even in the bus.
Nothing left to stay - sleep well, Manhattan ;-)

A New Yorker Moment Part II

Hey guys, you all know how much I adore taking photos of my beloved city New York and the adventures I have there. I suppose I'm pretty good at taking pictures of the most famous New Yorker buildings but also shots of tiny details on the streets that no one notices, such as stickers, graffitis or other ridiculously strange things - I once bumped into a coffin on the Lower East Side, not kidding!
However, I started loving a different kind of photography so much more when I received the most wonderful birthday present ever last year - my SLR camera. Boom, People photography has become my new passion! Capturing people interacting is simply more fulfilling than taking pictures of beautiful but inanimate buildings. Thus, you will get to see a lot more pictures of real New Yorkers!
I regularly get lost in capturing these unique moments, you know, when a girl is sitting in a café on a beautiful day, enjoying the warm sunlight and reminiscing about all the wonderful things she has so far achieved in her life or maybe she is thinking about her glorious future (ok, maybe she doesn't reflect at all but just relaxes from a stressful day at her job instead).
New York City shelters so many different human beings - each person one-of-a-kind -  an endless number of expressive faces, casual or fashionable outfits, people leaving work, relaxing on the street or even getting their shoes cleaned (love the first picture). So many casual but also deep relationships in such a small space... relationships for the moment, for only a few minutes or for a lifetime! So many special moments to capture - this is NEW YORK!
