oh, I'll be taking a ton, I just bought an additional memory card because I think I'm going to end up going over the top!
It's so close to home for me, but I've never been before. This will be my first trip there!

I love this, I've been to NYC three times so I always love seeing art and photography from people who have shared this experience

It's quite amazing actually, such a view of the city.
It looks warmer than N.Y. usually gets presented- nice colour touch up

Very cool. I like that you made the cabs stand out. Never lived in a big city but i'm sure cabs are a way of life.

Great perspective and the small dots of yellow really catch the eye. Got some night time shots from Empire State (check em out!) but I now wished I was up in the day. Have been playin with desaturation and yellow in some of my NYC photos so I appreciate what you've gone for in this one. Seems like it's the colour of New York, tho who wants a large yellow apple??!!

lilackitty In reply to pow-lo [2006-01-04 12:40:48 +0000 UTC]

thank you!! uh huh - a large yellow apple doesn't sound too appetising maybe they should paint the cabs green and red...

lilackitty In reply to oriental-dragon [2005-11-16 14:55:03 +0000 UTC]

If i'm totally honest, which i usually am, I can't stand to even get milk on me, like if I spill it on my hands when i'm making coffee... and if i spill it on the countertop i have to throw the cloth away that I use to wipe it up... it grosses me out that much!!
