Venturing Out in New York City; a Photographers Wet Dream
1:20 PMUnknown, Astor Place, NYC |
This week, I ventured out to the Lower East Side. The vibrant neighborhood is accented with wall art on almost every corner, from St. Marks to Avenue A. Even the locals shine bright in colorful fashion-forward apparel, as if it is a pre-requisite. You can spot them from a mile away. And yet, as I traipse around, I oddly do not feel like a visitor. Greetings and warm smiles were a welcomed surprise! A street photographer I am NOT, so I did not stick a camera in the faces of the passersby, but I did whip out my iphone once or twice to capture these gorgeous murals.
People often ask me if I were to move to any other city in the world where would it be, and I look at them, aghast, and say (in my quintessential New York accent) "What, are you kidding me?!!"
