It’s been a while since I last updated this blog. I’ve always wanted to write for it but never found the time. Recently I went to New York City to take a break from work and school. I took photos – a lot of photos. In short, I fell in love with photography all over again. Maybe it was the city, but I hope to continue this blog on a more regular basis (ie. weekly post). I’m also hoping to do some artsy shoots from time to time, so stay tuned for those.
Now onto the trip. My hotel was near Times Square, so getting around was easy. At first, NYC seemed old and filthy comparing to Vancouver. However, after staying there for short of a week, I began to love it. The subway was definitely helpful once I figured it out. My trip involved visiting a lot of art museums and a lot of sight seeing. There wasn’t much time for shopping, but I did manage to snag a Nikon AF-S 105mm f/2.8 VR Micro. I’ll give a review later since I haven’t used this lens fully. Luckily, I was also in time for the St. Patrick’s Day parade. It was a lot of fun since I got inside and shot beside the parade. Meanwhile people wondered what news channel I was from, I snapped some amazing photos. I should try this in Vancouver sometime when we have a parade. At this point, my words are probably boring you so let’s look at the photos.

Holy crap that shot of the subway is amazing!
