New York, New York – Manhattan, The Empire State Building and Times Square

18 08 2009

In New York, I stayed on Manhattan island, somewhere between Central Park and Times Square. I could take pictures in this city forever. For now I will share 5.

The Empire State Building and Lower Manhattan

I think this shot was taken from Brooklyn Bridge looking back up the island.

I like this shot. I was trying to capture the movement and hurly burly of the city

Taxis are everywhere in this great city. Although they are not quite as grand as they once were.



Beautiful Painted Georgian Doors, Merrion Square, Dublin

Merrion Square, Dublin
Merrion Square, Dublin

Taken in 2007. I love the Georgian architecture of Merrion Square, Dublin. Oscar Wilde once lived here and the 3 story town houses look as good today as they did 200 years ago. I wanted to showcase the brightly coloured painted doors – something that is not possible when shooting entirely in B&W. This shot has proved quite popular.
