New York (2/4)

Posted by Jen (St. George, United States) on 27 April 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

I love this photo! It really captured how I feel about New York City, particularly the "touristy" areas - Too much going on everywhere, all the time! It's like sensory overload! Which is why I live in a small town, and only visit big cities for fun! :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have a limited amount of time on Am3, so I don't generally respond to comments (unless they're questions). I do, however, read them all, and appreciate every one. Thanks again for taking the time to check out my work!

I love big cities for a while and I would love to visit NY. It looks like Bangkok but then more civilized ;) The B&W works really well here.

I dont like cities. But I do like this B&W picture because of the B&W.

@JanW: Thanks! I'm not much of a city person... just enough to visit, see the sites, and then get back to my peace and quiet! :)

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada

Great street shot Jen! You have captured the bedlam that is big cities in general and NY in particular! Nice B&W treatment! ;-)

@Eric Cousineau: "Bedlam"... yes, that is a good word for it! :) Thanks for the nice comment!

Cool street shot, and perfect in b&w...gives it a feeling of long ago..,.until you look more closely, and see brand new modern vehicles, and swatch watches!!

Super strong contrast here Jen can't beat it in B&W & I think you have done a great job in capturing the hustle & bustle of city life.

The guy stepping out although he seems insignificant, really is an important element of the shot great timing girl ;-))

@Wayne Molyneux: Thanks so much Wayne! I agree with you about the guy crossing the street. To me he brings the motion to life, whereas without him it wouldn't have that same sense of motion. Nice of him to help out like that!! :)

bridget from Western WA, United States

i like the restraint of b&w here - times square can be too much to take in in colour

@bridget: Thanks! I'm glad you liked the B&W. :)
