New York City
New York City is one of our favorite places. I did most of my purposeful shooting there in my early visits in the Aughts. Our recent visits have mostly been about museums and dining, but I take my camera along just in case.
We usually visit New York in January or August when the hotels are less expensive, so that has a bearing on the scenes you see here. Some of these previously appeared on the old Shuttercity photo-sharing site and others on my blog — the rest were scanned specifically for this gallery. I reprocessed all of them for optimal display on this site.
Photo titles and notes:

Not to tip the scales, but my personal favorites here are probably Celebrating Liberty, Future Psychic and Power Lunch. Thanks to artist/curator Sally Wood Winslow, I was able to exhibit Power Lunch and Red White and Blue at the High Falls Visitor Center in Rochester, NY, a showcase for local artists back in the day. (Sadly, the center closed in 2013.)
By the way, I wonder if any viewer of Posers considered that the statue might have been emulating the woman…
These are terrific.
Great stuff as always. Especially like the Clapton/Harrison “Badge” ref in the 1st, the Posers, and the Ceiling!
