My New York

These images are some of my latest from my series "My New York". These are images that I take with my little camera as I make my way through my days here in NYC. We have had some stormy weather here, but with that comes some beautiful light!

The man above proudly showed off his signs to me, he had 4 different ones, but the others were much to outrageous for this blog! Even the homeless are having to get more creative in this recession!





I just love how this ray of light was hitting the church and how the rainbow seems to be landing perfectly on it, its almost as if the pot of gold is in there creating this affect!











Now this is cracking me up. It seems that all over Harlem and even in the lower areas of the west side, there are kids signs EVERYWHERE. They are all about smoking!!! The bottom sign is very hard to read, it may have been rained on, but the top one is hysterical! Go kids!

Cory and Rob

Cory's brother, a NYC fire fighter, used to warn her to stay away from firemen. Well, you know a sister hardly ever listens to advice from a brother on men....meet Rob, also one of NYC's bravest, a fire fighter in Brooklyn! Cory works for Project Hospitality and also is a sign language interpreter. What a match!

Although we had to wait out a storm in the rain, when it did let up the the wet trees and the grass made for a beautiful setting.

















Cory and Rob also have matching tattoos, the symbol means "fate that leads to marriage". Oh and by the way, this was not Rob's first professional photo shoot- he was also Mr. July 2008 for the FDNY calendar!!!!

Congratulations to you both!
