NYC Trip - August 15

I had a business trip to NYC last week and decided to grab my camera on the way out the door to take a few pictures while there. I also had the opportunity to visit with Rick and his friend Adolfo. They met me at my hotel and we walked to dinner. Along the way, he showed us the East River walk where you could see across the river into Manhattan. Beautiful!





It was great seeing Rick again. It has been a year since he came out to "The Ohio" to visit with us. We were joking around at dinner and I told him that he was a true "New Yorker." He said the rule of thumb is 10 years in New York to be considered a true New Yorker. He has been there 7 - I think that is close enough!




After dinner, Rick and Adolfo picked up their subway trains and I headed out to take a few night shots along the river and also of the Brooklyn Bridge.



The next morning, I woke up early and decided to walk to my meeting in Manhattan. I wanted the chance to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and see NYC in the early morning. It was only 2.5 miles to my meeting, but my dogs were barking from all the walking the night before. It was worth it though - it's not everyday you have the chance to walk over to Manhattan from Brooklyn...so I did. During lunch, I had some downtime so I headed back out and explored a little more and tried to find some fun shots to take.
