New York City has got to be one of the most incredible places in the world to practice Street Photography.\u00a0 Rarely do I turn a corner without seeing something different, if you’re a curious person you could lose yourself in that city for years and years and still find your curiosity insatiable.<\/p>\n

All of the shots you see here were taken with the Fujifilm X100T <\/a>\"\" and the Nikon Df <\/a>\"\" with the 50mm f\/1.8G.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF1402\"<\/a>Entering the city from the ferry we caught a cab and I couldn’t help but photograph this guys angry eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n

This time around the weather was more cooperative which means more people were out and about soaking up the warm sun (skin cancer be damned).\u00a0 I love when the weather gets warm because people spend more time meandering around and I feel like you really get a glimpse of their life.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF1413\"<\/a>Originally, the mans yellow helmet caught my eye and I just like his posture on the barrier as well as the yellow cabs that matched his helmet.<\/em><\/p>\n

I really wanted to capture something that said “New York City” and I think I got it.\u00a0 Below is a shot I took as my fianc\u00e9e and I were walking from the hotel to get something to eat, it’s a great example of good timing.\u00a0 Every other time I visited this same spot I could never get this shot because there was always a car parked in the way…\u00a0 For you to get this shot you had to be far enough away so the perspective looked as if the person passing by was wearing the Statue of Liberty.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF1420\"<\/a>This woman was on a mission, she was moving very quickly which is evident by the slight motion blur.<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking of the hotel, this shot (below) was taken from our hotel window (19 stories up).\u00a0 There was some sort of festival going on and they shut the street down in front of the hotel.\u00a0 Normally I wouldn’t think anything of this photograph but I just liked the way the light created two of everyone with their shadows.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF1748\"<\/a>This was the third of three different shots I took from the window…\u00a0 This hotel allowed us to open the window by about 3 inches and I just barely squeezed my Fuji X100T outside (careful not to drop it on an unsuspecting subjects head) and snapped the shots.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"DSCF1741\"<\/a>I titled this shot “Little Man” because it looks as if the baby is thinking “I got this, let’s go!”.<\/p>\n

Being fast with the camera was the theme of this trip, there were multiple times that had I not had my camera in the ready position I would have missed the shot.\u00a0 My fianc\u00e9e and I hurried past this duo to get this shot, the little boys face was priceless.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF1665\"<\/a>I could tell right away that this shot would be washed out by the bright light shining right into the X100T’s lens.\u00a0 I figured it would look like those filters folks use that fade the photograph.\u00a0 I was mostly satisfied, had I had more time I would have liked to center the subjects more.<\/em><\/p>\n
