I am planning a 7 days trip in New-York city first week of July. Beside the most common attractions, where would you spend time shooting to capture the spirit of NYC? Thanks for sharing! JY

Hey JY, you will be in my neck of the woods! There are so many interesting places. For people I like the parks and Greenwich village or anywhere for that matter. For places - along the water, central park is nice. There is so much in NYC its crazy.

I have a couple of galleries in Street Phtography, if you see anything you like I can tell you where it is. Or, I'd be happy to meet you for lunch (w/cameras).

I would check out Brooklyn because it is returning to it's old splendor. You can catch alot of old and new buildings mixed together. Coney Island boardwalk is nice too. Greenwich village is on the west side of downtown but I would prefer to shoot in the east village. Greenwich village has become more of a tourist attraction over the years. The lower east side is where most of the musicians, artists, and genuine weirdos hang out. You'll get some great people shots there.

Check out my NYC gallery.

I would check out the Soho are of NYC its lower manhattan near canal... great candids you can catch their plus many restaurants to eat at, also alot of art or graffiti you can photograph. Plus little italy and china town are near by. Also a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge would be nice and their is an awesome little park that sits between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge where you can get beautiful photos of the city.

Another thing I did for the first time a week ago was to take a trip to Roosevelt Island using the tram that runs along the Queensboro Bridge and then walk along the water and take photos of the city.
