New York is a beautiful, fascinating city, full of architectural wonders, stunning women, and plenty of “only in New York” moments begging to be captured on film. We encourage you to catalog every minute of your trip here, so that you will never have to return.
Yes, we are laughing at you as you snap photos of Deutsch Bank memorial 9/11 fountains when behind the photographers’ right shoulder is the stunning wonder that is the Brooklyn Bridge. We question your studious cataloguing of random office buildings and street urchins banging on five-gallon plastic drums. I guess it’s all just a matter of taste….
At any rate, when shooting photos in New York City, don’t expect everyone in the vicinity to pause while you line up the perfect shot. Try and find a place out of the flow of traffic, keep the light behind you, and take your shot quickly. When shooting photos that you intend to show people as evidence of your family trek to Gotham, try and get your clan to stand in front of something that is instantly recognizable as New York. Remember, one office building looks very much like another at 5 by 7 inches.
Should you decide it is necessary to sit on the ground to get the perfect perspective, don’t be surprised if people step right over you. Here in New York City, we are accustomed to seeing people lying on the ground, and we won’t miss a beat circumnavigating you. If that doesn’t sit well with you, so to speak, do you part and avoiding sitting in places where people will be forced to step over you.
