“New York State of Mind” Photography Series

The New York State of Mind Photography Series aims to capture my own perspective of New York. In this series you’ll find photos of New York City and there areas of lived around for the past 2 years, including famous landmarks to random urban street photography. New York City is a city like no other, with different cultures popping in each neighborhood. On one block you can find the hipsters and chic twenty somethings, and right around the block you can find some ghetto, but friendly neighborhoods, which point at the diversity that resides in the city that never sleeps.

TITLE: “New York Union Square Wallets”

This photo was taken at one of the street fairs on University Place. It seems like there is at least one street fair every month, which is great. It’s almost like an offline Etsy (maybe where Etsy got inspired) but you’ll find great carnival style food, awesome hand made things (or just vendors) and you’ll definitely have a good time. Sometimes there’s funnel cake, deep fried oreos, and even some hand rolled cigars! It’s actually so awesome and if you’re ever in NYC, it’s always a fantastic time.

TITLE: “Creepy Guy with Free Massages”

I’ll be honest, I was tempted to get one, but being an amateur masseuse myself, I figure I’d be too critical. This was taken in front of the Whole Foods at Union Square, which seems to attract very clever signs. Another sign was “Need a girlfriend, give me your number!” Hey, at least he was honest. This guy was nice enough to pose and smile, I would have given him something, but I didn’t have any change. He was cool with it. Such is New York, where even the cardboard wielders understand that you have to create lines that catch people’s attention. I do honestly wonder how many massages he got that day..

TITLE: My “Campus”

Ah, Washington Square Park. You’ve been so dear to me. My only semblance of a quad throughout my three years at NYU, you’ve let me shoot my headshots, read and do homework, be surrounded by nature, and kept me sane by letting me reflect on my life and this crazy city. While you do close early, I’ve had many fond memories with you, from facebook friending the piano guy and listening to the great jazz that comes out of the street musicians there, to seeing one twin spin each the other twin on his head like a helicopter. WSP is so diverse and has so many things going on, but when you go there when the sun is setting, there are quiet times to really take a stroll in the park and just think about things. It’s almost a home away from home for me.
