NEW YORK CITY - SHOT WITH FILM
Smells, lights, noises, people, cultures – as a melting pot of endless impressions NYC was one of my travel highlights so far.
The January weather could not have been more diverse during this week. Alternating snowfall, icy winds and rain producing various moods, lights, expressions in peoples faces. In Manhattan the sun is mostly hiding between huge skyscrapers, creating stunning reflections in glass facades – A photographers paradise.
Getting out of a cab in the middle of Manhattan for the first time can be overwhelming, especially coming out of pure Bavarian idyl. But sooner than expected NYC totally got you and feels surprisingly homey and small-scaled.
Dimensions first became clear from above: A helicopter flight in the low evening sun was just breathtaking – I have never seen such a huge and widespread accumulation of buildings in my life.
