NYC, dawn

[rutt]

I've spent some time there the last week or so and I guess I'll be spending some ore time there over the next week or so. The reason isn't a happy one, but it does provide apportunity to take some insteresting shots. NYC is really an amazing looking place. I took my daughter out to a play on Saturday night, and didn't bring my camera. Boy did I regret that as we walked west in 50s as the sun went down!

Anyway, here are some shots from a time when I did have it:

Funny there were no replies here.
I enjoyed the brief visit to NYC. I liked the last one the best.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Snappy, Hi, Rutt!

I remembered these, especially the one with Blueberry's Deli. I guess I was waiting for someone else to respond.............and no one did???

I grew up in the City. I haven't been there for years, and I miss it desperately. Your pictures took me back home. Thanks.

Thanks, Susan, for digging these up after all this time, nearly a year and a half. These have always been very meaningful to me. They were shot shortly before my father died. He lived with my mother in NYC and I came down and stayed in their apartment and went and spent nearly every day in his room at Mt. Sinai Hospital. The nights were inevitably late and sleeping late wasn't in the cards. I'd get up just at dawn and go out and get a couple of quad espressos at Starbuck's. Then my mother would wake up and we'd go up to the hospital.

These pictures were taken on those dawn coffee raids. Perhaps their power is all too personal, but they mean a lot to me. Ginger has emailed me about them before. I'm glad someone else noticed them.
