This is the second time I've attempted to photograph a NY sunset from atop Rockefeller Center. It gets incredibly windy and crowded up there so it's very difficult to take a long exposure photo without using a tripod, which might I add is not allowed. With that said, I was still able to get decent results facing north, but the money shot that most people have facing south has eluded me again...I'll be back!

Corner scene in the 'Big Apple'.
Many Flickr users are becoming so desensitized by looking at so many mediocre photos and awful compositions, and often times are in such a hurry that they completely miss the truly superb photographs (if they even have the ability to distinguish between a mediocre image from a good one, and a good photograph from a great one).
In my view, this is one of the best photos I have put out this year. Did you noticed how many people are in this scene: age, gender, how they are dressed, where they are seated or standing and what they’re doing, etc., etc? Did you see how many stories it tells? This story is told best in black and white!
Now, where are the views, not to mention the comments? I see really awful photos with thousands of views and hundreds of comments, and I often wonder, what the heck do people see in this picture? Please, let’s stop "grading" the photographer (whether you like him or know him well, or whether or not he or she comments on your pictures) and for once let’s start appreciating great photographs!

This saxophonist was one of many busking in Central Park that day, the live music really did add to the general experience in such a subtle way.
One of my favorite places to visit is the top of Rockefeller Center in NY. When you arrive at the 67th floor this is the view that you'll see as the elevator doors open. It's unique location to get a different perspective of the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Central Park and a bird's eye view to the rest of Manhattan. It's generally a less crowded option than the more popular Empire State Building and I guess that's because there are 3 different floors that are open to the public. Don't get me wrong, you'll still need to elbow your way to the best exterior spot up on the 69th floor which is normally where people photograph the sweeping views of NY and NJ - and is also the shot that has eluded me.
Anyway, I was recently rummaging through some old photo CDs and I found this photograph. I took this image back in 2007 less than two weeks after purchasing my first DSLR camera - when I had no idea what I was doing. I'm glad that I didn't delete it because this is truly a timeless view....
