Times Square

Rate this Entry

During a recent visit to New York City with Jayne, I had the enjoyable experience of feeling the energy of Times Square at night. There is a special something to be felt in any big city at night and wandering casually, watching the people. And New York City is one of the best cities in the world to experience this!

I had no formal plans to shoot anything specific during our visit. I did however want to bring a camera and be prepared for anything. I went with no expectations, with no agenda. I just tried to be open to anything I may feel, without plan or purpose. Sometimes, you just try too hard to “create” art by forcing it. So, this was a very refreshing experience to live in the moment. I highly recommend this approach for anyone who is suffering from “artistic block”.

I took my trusty old Canon 20D and my Canon 16-35mm. That’s it. And here are a couple of keepers.

Keep shooting!

    Yeah, but the story didn't start out that way.

    I am in Australia and coming to NY mid this year. I was looking for ideas but as you have suggested... maybe having no preformed ideas is the way to go. Just worried as I may never get back there and want good images

    Hi Jerry , I also sent him a pm with the link to Polly1 thread where was asking for ideas for her son's upcoming honeymoon. There were a lot of good ideas there.

    Hope you a great Christmas and New Years.
