Random NYC Scenes

Random shots taken walking around over the past few weeks in NYC. I’ve been struggling with photographic inspiration lately – some days carrying the camera around helps, some days it doesn’t. These days it did… a little.

Great staging for a simple noodle shop (Kelley & Peng, SoHo)
Love the lighting in this restaurant (Kelley & Peng, SoHo)
Pooh Bear arms ❤
Flower litter at the Prospect Park Zoo
Octopus trellis at the Prospect Park Zoo – This little city zoo is worth the $8 admission and hour or so of your time.

These next shots were taken while showing my sister and mother-by-choice around the city. Both were interested in NYC-things (as opposed to tourist spots), which was just fine by me. We wandered Park Slope, got lost-ish in Prospect Park, slogged through Central Park in the bazillion-degree heat to see the somewhat disappointing Belvedere Castle, shopped in SoHo, wandered through Greenwich, strolled the boardwalk in Coney, experienced the madness of Midtown, immersed ourselves in Chinatown and had an overall lovely (albeit sweaty) time. Lots of good food, lots of poking around in shops, and of course, lots of chatting.

NY Public Library, 42nd St. branch – mental note: return with more & different lenses (and the hubbs)
Koi door – somewhere in Midtown?
What trip to Coney is complete without a Nathan’s Dog?

— Love the dusk with lights on feel of this one

Mmmmm…. Papaya King….
Quick stab at cinema styling – the edges need to be softened, but the overall effect works, I think
