The first time I went to New York City I was enamored by the scale and vastness of the city. Armed with my DSLR and a 35mm lens I took thousands of pictures. Looking back at this time I think gained allot of experience behind the shutter by just clicking away on the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn for a few days. Now this month I'm going back to New York for work. It will be the first time back in about 2 years, and I've decided to post my old street photography compare and reflect on my strenghts/ weaknesses as I take new photographs this month.

I'll be head up to Soho to work on a marketing project for a good friend who recently acquired a data oriented patent , NYC cryptocurrency broker license (not easy to come by, and a dev team with the hopes of launching an ICO later this summer. In the downtime I'll be taking photos of the city. Let's see if I can hone my composition.
Below are what I feel are some of the best street photos I've taken so far, Thanks and

good luck!
