I took these photos in New York City before going to LA to prepare for Burning Man. I found this spot below in midtown during a walk from Bryant Park over to the Facebook HQ in NYC. If you check my Facebook page, you’ll see some photos that Luke shot of me while I was taking this shot. It’s the one when I was awkwardly up under my camera shooting almost straight up in the air! You know that position…

So this is my newest photo of Times Square. I return to this spot time and time again. The situation, light, cars, people, and billboards are always different, so it’s never a dull subject. It’s also always such a challenge to shoot that it keeps all my senses fully honed. In fact, I’m already thinking about going back to New York City for another photograph of Times Square!

I am here for the Virtual Worlds conference, but I made it out tonight to take a shot of the city. Have you heard of it? It's this really big city in the east somewhere.
This was shot from the "Top of the Rock" deal at on top of Rockafeller center. They really overproduce the whole "Top of the Rock" brand and experience. They make you watch movies and make you think this is something much more than being on top of a building... but I just ignored all that and went straight to the top.

I shot this from the Google offices in Manhattan a few weeks ago. Luke and I ended up staying up late at the offices, and we wanted to wait until the sunset rolled through… and when sunset finally came, we discovered that we could not even go outside! All the windows and doors had been nailed shut by security, so there was no chance of getting out. Instead, I had to commandeer a conference room and turn out all the lights so I could get a clean shot out the window.
Over on the left side, you can just see the edge of the Brooklyn Bridge.

I am jealous for all the people that live in New York! They have a city that looks different at every moment of the day from every slightly different angle. I think if I lived there, I'd feel kind of guilty if I didn't make it out several times a week at sunset to go shooting.
I shot this one from the top of the Rockefeller Center. They don't let you take tripods up there, but I always see that as somewhat of a challenge to my manhood, and I take offense. So, consequently, I set my mind to smuggling my tripod in there, usually inside my overcoat or a big shopping bag. I mean, you have to, right? There is no other way to get a good night or evening shot without a stable surface (or a high ISO, which I don't like).
Anyway, this was a perfect night. Later, after I shot this, I was graciously invited over to have dessert with Rudy Maxa (he has a travel show) and his daughter in Brooklyn. It was great to meet him and he was a super guy. I figured since I mentioned Rick Steves yesterday (who people on my Facebook comments were saying was not such a nice guy), today it was time for the very nice Rudy Maxa.
