Now for something different

Most of my city shots I go out of the way to not have people in the shots, I just feel funny taking shots of people and I am not sure why but that is something I am trying to work on, so for this post, I am going to do a post of shots on the streets of NYC all with people clearly in view, or for a couple of them the main subject of the post

Starting with this shot of a few people skating on the Ice Rink in Bryant Park, generally when I pass by it is in the early morning before it opens, but I decided to walk up there after lunch one day to get this shot

Do you Ice or Roller Skate?

I have tried it a few times but I spend more time sitting on the ground or ice or struggling to get up after falling I should say.

This next shot was taken when I was out taking shots of the festive windows inthe city, but As I saw the people crossing the road I thought of the Beatle Abbey Road shot and decided to take a shot of the people crossing the road, I know it is nothing like the famous Abbey Road photo but its what came to me to take this shot if that makes sense

Another shot on 5th Ave now in the past I would not have edited or shared this post because of the people in it, but when I think about it now as I am typing this NYC is always thriving with people and activity and getting shots without people is not really catching the feel of the city, so sinc e I only have two months left working inthe city I am going to make a real push to get more Street shots with people
