RE: "N Why C???" - Glimpses of New York City Through Heavy Eyes
Hey @barge
As always, the photography is awesome. The second photo from the bottom is my favorite in this selection. I remember some basics I learned from photography class in high school, and this particular photo is what I would call an excellent example of "the rule of thirds" in action. Either you know a thing or two about photography, or you are just a true natural at it!
I don't think the big city is a place for @barge
You have much going on in your mind, and I'm willing to bet, this place was pure chaos for you. People are indeed selfish by nature in the big city. Very dog eat dog. I have been there once. I have no desire to go back.
I live in NY, but I am a good 4 hours from the big city in whats considered "Upstate New York." In Upstate NY, there are a number of "small", but heavily populated cities, and I happen to live in one of them. I remember your comment on the walk through my neighborhood, so I know you have a bit of an idea of what these smaller cities look like, but there is quite a prevalence of nature going on in New York as well. (Not assuming you don't already know this, but many don't) If you ever happen come back to NY, I would strongly recommend the Adirondack Mountains. It's probably one of the most beautiful places I have personally ever been.
Thanks for the great post.
Much love,
@futuremind
I also had a decent DSLR camera that I had borrowed from work for this trip....but I'll take the 'natural', which is really nice to hear, as I've not ever considered myself as such - thanks my friend :D
I don't think so either ...great observation/insight @futuremind, and totally spot on. Not for lack of Mega-city-living experience (Delhi, London, Cairo). I love the size of Edinburgh - 500,000 pop, and very green. I'm on the outskirts by the hills. Would love to live rural, and am working on making it happen :D.
It was chaos in NwhYC, and certainly so inside my head. The outside mirrored inside, perhaps even provided a distraction :). There was a raw-ness about the place.
And you know what, if I ever did return, I'd most certainly come and pay @futuremind a visit in 'Upstate New York'. Checked out the Adirondack Mountains - location and some photos - looks stunning!
Dunno if you know that I lived in Boston for 6 months when I was a baby :) ... then my parents migrated to India.
Always a pleasure to read your comments, thanks for stopping by. Take care my friend!
🚣
That would be great! I hope we cross paths one day :)
No I didn't know that, I will be sure to check out your link here!
You know it bro, it's always a pleasure to read your posts. I am still catching up!!
Take care @barge
