Travel guide of Liberty Island - Ellis Island
In 2014, I took a trip to New York for the cliche and touristy site seeing ventures. On a foggy day, we went to the Statue of Liberty. Trying to create various angles, I stood just a bit off to the side and tilted my camera upwards. After a handful of shots, and shifting the camera’s angel, I saw an airplane in the top left corner of the frame. It appeared and disappeared within the clouds. So, in hopes that I could perhaps capture it near the statue, I took a bunch of photos. Then, this happened. Yes, it’s not perfectly centered between the crown, but still // a new angle on the same statue.
The sun was just coming up and I was taking pictures from the Empty Sky Memorial in Jersey. I like the way this picture has a gentle morning feel about the sky with the bustling city just coming into life beneath.

I have always wanted to capture the New York skyline but was never able to. This time I went early to the Brooklyn Bridge Park and sat down in the hopes of getting that shot. As you can see, I was lucky enough to get this beautiful shot of this awesome city.

While this is a picture thousands of people had taken, I was working just on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge and so I took my camera and tripod with me and took this image.

One of the coldest days I have ever experienced. Sunny, below freezing and the wind must have been blowing 50 mph through lower Manhattan. As we exited the 9/11 Memorial, I had to capture this image of the Freedom Tower, frozen in time.

I was walking down the streets of Tribeca outside of my WeWork office and was fascinated by the symmetry and beauty of Greenwich Avenue. The World Trade Center looked phenomenal.

I took this juste before getting on the bus back to Boston, after an entire day walking the streets of Manhattan on my own and shooting. Surely one of the best days of my life!

When the sun started to go down there was a big cloud blocking the show. I turned around and started walking up this bridge. I was trying to get a picture of some ivy against a wall when I made it 3/4 the way up that bridge. I turned around and saw the sky open up and turn a golden purplish color. This was one of the coolest sunsets I’ve ever seen.

I was in New York for a friends birthday and as we walked along the water next to Jane’s Carousel, I saw these two girls sitting here eating ice cream and chatting and it felt very classic.

Set my tripod on the edge of the river and waited for the sun to go down. The lights of the city really make the skyline sparkle at night.

This shot was taken on my first trip to NYC late last summer. Brooklyn was near the top of my list of places to check out while I was there. I loved the architecture in this area, it seemed that every corner you turned was filled with another picturesque city street (but maybe that was just the awe of experiencing NYC for the first time hitting me full force). We walked around for hours, exploring as many shops and streets and alleyways as we could before the light started to fade. We hung out in Empire Fulton Ferry Park watching the lights of the financial district slowly come on.
