In May, I spent four days in NYC with five other Wasatch Camera Club members on a photographic tour of Manhattan and Brooklyn. We hit the iconic landmarks - Times Square, Grand Central Station, Brooklyn Bridge, the High Line - and many less-touristy areas. One of my favorites was Williamsburg in Brooklyn, a neighborhood I’d never visited. Startling contrasts from the hip new waterfront development to sidewalks filled with the traditional Orthodox Jewish community and dark streets covered by rumbling elevated subway tracks.
One half day was spent being guided thru lower Manhattan by street photographer James Maher. So many streets, views and alleys that were new to us all. Scenes reflecting the city’s rich history and culture in Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy – and limitless photogenic content.
Long days, many miles walked, great company, excellent images. Hope to get back to the Big Apple again soon.
