I really enjoyed my first trip to New York, I was a little overwhelmed with just how much there is to do. How do you decide what you want to see and where you want to eat. Then you get the suggestions from everyone that adds more options.

I had a couple of things I really wanted to see. The Guggenheim had part one of a Mapplethorpe exhibit. I really wanted to see prints live since that process was so much of his art. They did not disappoint. It was also an experience to watch others interact with his work.

People watching was of course exactly what you’d expect in a huge city like New York. I really don’t feel comfortable yet taking candid shots of people on the street. Not up close anyway. Here are a few of the better shots below. Can’t wait to go back.
