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)

Julz...these pics are fantastic!! I love NYC too. The first time I went, I wanted to take the next flight home because I hated it for some reason...then after doing some exploring...I actually appreciated it more and more and then kept going back.
Anyways, pics are awesome, camera is amazing, and can't wait for more pics to come once you start traveling the world.
Good luck and keep up the fantastic work!

Julian. You continue to impress me. The photos that you take are amazing. It is as if I was on the trip with you when I look at the pictures. Maybe next time as I have never been to NYC.
Looking forward to the end of the month. great job as always Julian
Hey Julz,
Listen...I particularly like the photo of your silhouetted friends crossing the deserted streets with the sun setting!! Anyways good job as always...;)
Julian....your number one fan here!
The slideshow was spectacular...not only is it an amazing memory for you and your friends to keep forever of your trip to NYC, but you've displayed your unique talent once again.
NYC is in the top two of the vacations I've ever been on and you've made me go crazy after seeing these pictures because now all I can think about is NYC!!
Faves:
#1. The one with "Whole food markets in the background" and the couple about to kiss off to the side (I'm a sap I know)
#2 The last shot on the blog..what a true representation of the heart of NYC (as we know it anyways..lol)
It was well worth the wait my friend...the pictures are great.
Julian I think these are my favourite pictures by far! Ive always wanted to take a trip to New York cause i too have never been and these pictures just fill that urge even more!! These pics bring out the soul of New York..
As always, Great job!
Way cool!
Your truly,
Namaste
ugh, you really did tune us out
Slideshow is amazing, so grateful for the trip and having you there to document it all so beautifully.
Could you just come to NYC with me so you can document my entire trip!? Ridiculous Julian.
You know which one is my fav, but they are all simply perfect.
You did my city proud in these shots.

Wow Julian.. AMAZING!!! makes me want to go to the NYC! you definitely have a gift!!!
Looking forward to end of May :)
Cheers!! :)
Julez I just watched the slideshow...buddy man I have Goosebumps. Nat and I had the most amazing time in NYC and your pictures just brought those memories back...I love the pics with people in them b/c NYC would be nothing without them. I love all the pics of the street performers...true essence of New York.
AMAZING!!!! I want to go back now! The slide show was incredible! I guess it just goes to show the difference between your skills and mine.. my pictures did not come out half as good as those.. lol
Great Job J!
Ahh I definitely did not forget to visit the b-spot! I've been overwhelmed with studying and took a relaxing break...got in the mood and here I am...on your blog once again :) With that said, this comment may be classified as a short story!
So...you already know how I feel about your work and always have been able to read my comments about it, but you've never really been able to experience my physical reactions to it. As soon as I saw the picture of you sitting on the curb I instantly smiled on the inside and out. Although you didn't take the shot, I guess it was the model in the scene and the mood of the shot that I was amazed with...it's nice to see the photographer get photographed!
I've never been to New York and it's definitely on my list of things to do. But I'm glad I got to see some of it through your eyes...you've captured scenes and memories I can already envision on display in a gallery! I don't usually have ONE favourite but if I HAD to pick one that I'd display, it would be the "Come Fly Away" one from the slide show but in black and white.
I'm excited to see what you and Roxy see next!!
(:
