One more shot of street tags.  I enjoy capturing these "urban swatches" without providing additional context.  The narrow boundaries of the image convey much about the environment in which they are found.  What caught my attention in this subject was the composition of its elements, the geometrics, along with the sharp contrasting colour and lighting.

Street Tops


Visiting SoHo offers great people watching, a wonderful vibe, and great architecture.  The building tops and whitewashed facades present a street that cannot be confused with anywhere else.  Love it.

The Meat Packing District


New York's Meat Packing District is a visual delight.  The rich character of brick, steel and concrete, heightened by the soundtrack of the city sounds is food for the imagination.

Message in a Bottle



Walking the Manhattan High Line, we came across what appeared to be drink a stand at first glance.  Upon closer inspection, what we had before us was an art installation, with bottled messages to the passersby.  Warnings of overconsumption, perpetual connection and hyper self-obsession.  A poignant piece, with a mesmerizing visual combination of lines, light and colour.
