NYC

Amidst all of the chaos, subway stickiness, and a fast-paced shoveyououtoftheway New York, I was somehow blessed enough to get a glimpse of the Big Apple's beauty. From the top (above): Times Square, dinner at Better Burger, Strawberry Field's iconic "Imagine" mosaic, rowboat views from Central Park, a skyline view from pier 41.

I went to New York with the expectation of diving into the local's perspective. Or for that matter, 7+ locals' perspectives. I have 7 good friends up in NYC--some of which are interns for the summer, some living there year-round, and some trying to figure out why they're there and where they'll be next. It was such a colorful and insightful journey during the 6 days I was there. I tried to step back from the camera and the journal and wanted to soak up the city, but here I am "blogging" and posting pictures--go figure.
