I romanen om mitt liv och mina resor

Persongalleriet #752: Live blog from NYC: Day 3

Thursday, November 2nd 2017.
Day 3 was a day more about personal meetings than shooting. First I met the wonderful Iryna Fedorovska at 10 am. We walked and talked from Times Square to Columbus Circle. It was so nice to meet Iryna in person after knowing her for three years on deviant art! When walking back to Times Square again, I got this shot below after taking a quick step to the left to get the correct background.
I know it's out of focus, but I like the energy, the reds and the one-second-composition!

After saying goodbye to Iryna, I spent a little time on Times Square and got this shot:

The Map Reader.

After enjoying some beautiful light in Bryant Park and a great salad in Chop't, I met up with Barry Levy at the New York Public Library. I know Barry mainly from the Facebook group Pure Street Photography, where he does admin duties and critiques. We went to a nearby Starbucks and talked for several hours. Barry is a lifelong photographer and it was so much fun and interesting to listen to what he had to say about photography, stories from his life and also current events and politics! My throat was even a little bit sore after all this talking!
Following the parting advise from Barry, I did some shooting on the subway going back to the apartment on the Upper West Side. I even got myself some extra subway shooting time by taking the wrong train!
