New York – Olympus OM2 50mm Zuiko
I’ve been there a couple of times now and it is one of my favourite cities. I took these as my return to film from digital was just blossoming.

Start spreading the news!

Nice shots, the first one particularly. Oddly enough I was putting together some of my own shots from Midtown (taken last weekend) to post here soon. NYC is essentially one giant and continuous photo opportunity.
-
I really like the colours and steam combination of the second image. Hoping to go there one day.

Thanks. I do wish that I'd done a bit more on film while I was there.

Thanks Kevin, it is an amazing city and well worth a visit.

Hey! My office is two blocks up on the right there :D I am sitting here right now.
I agree that NYC is very photogenic! But like everything else, familiarity breeds contempt and I constantly find myself wishing I could get out into the country, small towns, etc. But that's why I try to travel as much as possible! And on the flip side, I love seeing outsiders' pictures of my city :)

That's the view from The Wellington, which I stayed at on my first visit.
I think one might become somewhat immune to places, when you see the same things every day they don't seem that interesting perhaps, but they are. Everytime I'm in London I find so many things to point a camera at, but if I lived there I suspect my eyes would pass over things that I would, as a visitor, notice. I find stopping and waiting occasionally, makes me see things that I might otherwise not notice (although it's usually at that point that my wife starts getting grumpy with me!)
