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 ;-)

Now or never

I like my life...except when it sucks! Please don't get me wrong- I have a quite fabulous life. I am independent, live in one of the world's greatest cities, and can basically do whatever I want because I don't have a lot of responsibilities at this point. My life is adventurous and exciting, and I get to see new things in and around New York City almost every second day, hands down - it's pretty awesome!

However, even easy-going girls like me have to eventually plan their future... sucks! Thank god (or destiny in which I more believe) that I can also be a very organized, disciplined person who willingly plans the next steps in her life. Right now I get a strange feeling realizing that I am still so far away from my dreams, yet every step I take feels like the last one. I've been self-reflecting a lot lately to find out what I really want for my future since I find myself stuck in a situation filled with doubts and crossroads. Study in New York or my home country Germany? 

When I look at these pictures I just posted - taking a walk at the beach, admiring Louboutins at Saks, visiting the Macy's Flower Show and dining at the superb Russian restaurant called "Mari Vanna" I clearly favor NYC... I definitely have to decide what is best for me and what I want to reach in life.

Now or never!

Manhattan Magic

Guys, you can't believe how much I missed grabbing my camera and heading to the city all by myself, haven't done that in a long time, just my camera and me - strolling through Manhattan alone, breathing in the abnormally warm December air and taking the greatest shots ever of all the fantastic Christmas ornaments on the streets and the stunning decorations at Bergdorf, Tiffany and Saks on Fifth Avenue (these stores just outdo one another each single year - they always blow my mind) !
I love these shots, I love my camera, I love Manhattan, I love Christmas in NYC and I love the shop windows at Bergdorf (you will see why)! For now lean back and enjoy my pictures of the Christmas decorations at Rockefeller and on Fifth Avenue. Have a good night!
