I went to The Big Apple for the long 4th of July weekend. Here are some pics.











I guess I could have posted this in the City Life or People section. Oh well.......

More pics will be added to this thread at some point....

Hi Marco, Your creative perspective in your photos is always very interesting. Really good! I look forward to the rest.

awesome pictures man! how do you get the people in your pictures to just pose for you?

[MarcoFromHouston]

thanks Leon! It was great to see you today!

Dahn - I just smile. Say hello. Start a conversation. I know that sounds easy, but it does take guts to do it. There were times when I could not, and I know I missed out on some interesting shots.

most (if not all) of these were taken with a Canon Rebel XT & a Sigma 10-20mm.

Great pics Marco!

I soooo wanted to go up "Top of the Rock." Looks like I missed out on some great shots. Time to start planning my next trip,

Cool. I've got the exact same combo. I just got the sigma a few weeks ago, it's a fun lens!

Sigma 10-20mm

That explains how you got so much of Union Station. I really like the Top of the Rock one and the subway one with the train in the picture.

I really like the last one there.

This last time I was there, I thought I'd try taking the subway and the bus to the airport (La Guardia) even though all the books I've read recommend against it. I hadn't been outside of Manhattan, save walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, so when I came up to street level at 125th and Lexington, it blew me away. It was a whole different world, and not in a good way...
