My First Trip to NYC aka. The Concrete Jungle!!!

The much anticipated blog post has finally arrived.

Several of you have been asking me when these photos would be going up and I personally could not wait to share my first time in NYC with you lovely people.  I have been extremely busy with school but now I am proud to announce that I am officially finished my post secondary education.  Life will truly be lived from here on out, that is a promise! (To me)

Now on to NYC...

The ride was long and rough...but I somehow managed to make it on only 2 hours of sleep.  (not recommended BTW) We arrived in the big city, but took a detour to Brooklyn to pick up what I initially went there for ... My brand new Canon 5D mkII, equip with my new 50mm f/1.2 and 16-35mm f/2.8 lenses!!! NYC is a perfect place to test out new gear :)

I went with 2 friends Amanda + Kev (they made sure I mentioned them...hi guys).  They told me I would have a tough time dealing with them throughout the trip, but they were fine, partially because I learned to tune them out :)  But seriously, they showed me the NYC ropes, as I was inexperienced.  Their main objective was to insure that I had a good time and that I took some stellar photos, which I will let you judge for yourself.  I would have been lost without you guys, so thank you very very much for introducing me to the big city which I have now fallen in love with.  This trip will never be forgotten.

Truth is the true appreciation of the city didn't kick in until a couple of hours before we left.  I didn't get to see close to as much as I wanted to, but that's ok because now it gives me more reason to keep going back...and each time I go, Roxy (the name I gave my camera this weekend) is coming along for the ride.

NYC is amazingly awesome and I look forward to sharing many more adventures with you from  there and around the world...simply because I want to see it all :) (and so does Roxy)

Enjoy the photos and be sure to check out the slideshow on the bottom as well.  Or CLICK HERE to view it in a seperate window.

I also have some photos posted from my facebook profile which Kevin uploaded.  Click Here.

LEAVE A COMMENT...ONE LUCKY PERSON WHO COMMENTS WILL WIN A FREE NYC PRINT :)  I am going to randomly select a name and I promise it will be legit.  Just leave your name (first and last) and your facebook contact if I don't already know you.

And if anyone is interested in purchasing a NYC photo, either up on this blog or from the slideshow CONTACT ME.  I will be printing out a few canvas' and Stand Out mounts for myself ASAP!!!
