Update from Gotham

The first day of my Digital Photography & Video class was Tuesday and I have already taken well over 200 pictures. Not that hard to do when you are shooting digital and you don't have to worry about running out of film!















Wednesday morning our class walked to Union Square. I didn't take as many photos as I could have due to the Green Market. The organic cheeses and baked goods were very distracting. In the afternoon we took the subway to Williamsburg, Brooklyn to take even more photos.







There are so many things to take photos of that it's almost hard to know where to begin. I'm finding so much color in the city. New York is full of bright colors and greenery. Quiet spaces are easy to find if you take the time to look.

Greetings from NYC!

I have arrived!! After a sleepless red-eye and a two hour nap I was off and running in the Big Apple. The weather has been perfect- sunny and breezy- and the locals were out enjoying the Memorial Day holiday weekend. It is a little known fact, but New Yorkers do smile.

I'm out early on my first day of class. I've only taken 2 or 3 photos.... NYC can be a bit overwhelming. So, that being said, I need to get out on the street and start shooting. We have to post photos/write a blog for our class so you can all keep tabs on me. This four week class is going to fly! We are shooting in the morning and "processing" photos in the afternoon. We are also going to be visiting galleries, artists, and a different "nabe" (neighborhood in the local dialect) practically every day.

Check back soon for more updates.
