Chinatown

This is one of the many reasons I love photography.

I recently took a 3 city tour of Washington DC, Philly, and New York.  I was visiting my sister in New York in  Brooklyn for four days and LOTS of photography.  On a trip like this I have my camera with me everywhere I go and will actively search out locations and events for shooting.  I do try to keep my camera with me as much as possible when I’m out and about.  This is why.

I had taken off early this morning to go to the local Farmer’s Market so Kate could pick up some fresh goods for the week.  Afterwards I had planned to cross through a local snow covered park.  Next location was Dumbo to take some bridge and skyline photos.  It was in the teens and windy but I had to make the crossing of the Brooklyn Bridge.  Well worth it.  Lots of fun shooting.  I was freezing my butt off so I went off in search of noodles.

Shortly after landing on Manhattan I heard singing in the distance.  I had to go investigate!  When I arrived I found myself in the middle of local Chinatown Christmas Parade.  The shot above is just one of MANY that I snagged.  Check my flickr stream for more fun shots.  Many many more NYC photos to come.  You can see what I have posted thus far in this set.
