Times SQ

After A Pandemic

NYC by definition has a sense of Magic to it. To kids because of the buildings. the massive massive buildings that continue on forever…. to adults…. the same exact thing. Growing up in NY the wonder of the city was lost on me from a young age. I grew up in the mountains. Where many of my city friends grew up on boardwalks and beaches I grew up jumping off mountain cliffs into lakes… doing backflips of dams into gushing waters.

But going back with my family was something different. It was the first trip we took after the pandemic and the first time going somewhere with my kids where I started to see the world through their eyes. I’ll write a blog about my kids photography experience in the city but here is some of mine.

As a photographer I enjoy so much people watching. NYC is one of the best places to do it. You see everything. But what I enjoyed most about being in the city was watching interaction. between kids whom have been kept inside for a year to adults experiencing the same thing. There is a magical exchange between people in Times Square almost like a movie. The suspension of belief. The acceptance to join a different world for a few moments. Street acts, street performers, artists, musicians bring life to the city. The pandemic might have stoped many things. but not spirit.
