Posts about street photography / urban exploration
I wanted to release a small series of (mostly) #blackwhite #photos that I took in my favorite city for some time now, and I’m going to start with this one.
Starting off in #TimesSquare, #NewYorkCity – the beating heart and tourist #attraction of #Manhattan, #NYC in the afternoon with the #yellowcabs rushing down 7th Ave. While everyone living in the city will usually stay far away from this place, you have to visit, see and experience it for yourself once in your life!
What is #WallStreet? “Wall Street is between a river and a graveyard” – this old saying perfectly pictures Wall Street that stretches between the #East #River and #Trinity #Church in #downtown #Manhattan, #NY. In the early morning hours you can see the sunlight shining directly on Trinity Church, lighting it up in perfect light while the rest of Wall Street’s high-rise buildings are in the shade… definitely a view work experiencing!
The #FearlessGirl – The unique bronze #statue by Kristen Visbal on #WallStreet, #Manhattan promotes female #empowerment in a rough environment. Moved from it’s original place facing the Charging Bull statue, it’s now facing down on the #NewYork #StockExchange in the Financial District of #NewYorkCity.
Is there any picture that stands more for #NewYork than a yellow #NYC #cab in front of the #WorldTradeCenter, with the #Oculus “rising like a Phoenix from the ashes”? This description is true now as it was after 9/11, the city is finally recovering from the pandemic and getting back to its old glory. Took this shot in the early morning hours with some nice sunlight shining through the urban canyons of #Manhattan’s #skyscrapers.
The world famous #42nd #Street in #midtown #Manhattan at night, taken from #Tudor City Place. It is amazing to see all the #traffic on this busy street even late into the #night – showing that #NewYorkCity truly never sleeps.
