Chinese New Year Parade

Photo 253 - 258: For weeks now, I've been promising to post my Chinese New Year Parade pictures. Between traveling to a NUMBER of places, and being a little photographed and photochopped out, I haven't had time to really concentrate on any of the number of projects I've wanted to work on. I've also been on a complete NYC skyline/sightseeing kick, so my little Chinatown suffered a bit. But on a sunny Sunday, bustling Mott Street was suddenly turned into a world full of color, character and good luck.

and this is what it turned into at the parade...

Soho Chic

Photo 252: I am slowly working my way through the many, many pictures I have stored up, and I just love this one. Don't know why, but one of my favorite areas in NYC is Soho, and I just happened to see this little nugget on a door the other day while I was wandering around.

Bright Umbrellas and the BK Bridge

Photo 250 - 251: Brandon and I (giggle) went sightseeing around BK the other day, and after an amazing white pizza pie, some creamy ice cream and a cat-nap in the park, we picked up Pedro and Lexi (our cameras), and did BK proud. What a view! So here is my favorite bridge in the world, and I'm having a dilema with this picture. Should I use the wider shot or the closely-cropped one? I like both, so which one is a better fit?

A Little Coney

Photo 248 - 249: Coney Island is one of New York's most famous, if often forgotten and neglected landmarks. It's dirty, and loud, and run-down, but absolutely fantastic at the same time. A lot of it is being torn down now, and not operational yet, but the big Wonder Wheel and little amusement park are still there for kids - big and small.

NYC Sights

Photo 247: Don't have to say much here, but what an amazing sculpture. It just symbolizes NYC so well, and it's such a beautiful view.
