findings in Union Square...

Tonight was really the first night where the weather was actually comfy enugh to rummage around the streets of New York City.

After busting down a spoken word piece, my first performance in over five years, I wasn't ready to go from the gig straight back home.

Getting acclimated to the shift in weather, as much as I am the shift in my relationship status, my brain needed to clear itself and all I wanted to do was walk. Walking in NYC, especially at night, is like my favorite past time. From 29th and 3rd Ave I started heading toward Grand Central, when something told me to reroute and head back to my favorite part of Manhattan, the Village. Union Square is the spot and I trudged there in my own zone.

Upon reaching the park, there were a huge circle of people and what looked like a laser show going on. They were filming a movie, and apparently the actors were jumping rope with light sabers????

I don't know...what do you think? Pretty cool. I love NYC when it's warm. you never know what you will stumble on. Even at midnight.

Today marked the beginning of growth. Nor pink or pretty, it was a legitimate growing pain.

Necessary.

I had my first purchase of six of my travel photos, from the array you see HERE!

It's my first time with this specific printer for something so important so I wanted to get a glimpse of the images first hand before shipping out.

At Adorama on 18th Street, I got the goods. Around 10pm, I'm on the 4 headed home for much needed rest (which I'm obviously not getting now  at 2:06am) and to get a glimpse at the photos.

They look phenomenal!!!! Six 8x10s that were so gorgeous they actually started catching the attention of other riders.

"Wait, did you shoot these," she asked me.

"Yea, I did."

"Wow! Is this India?"

"Yea."

"Yes, I recognized it."

"Oh, have you been," I asked.

"No, but I could tell."

"Do you travel a lot?"

"Yes. I just got back from Brazil," she answered without hesitation.

"Great. I'm moving to Thailand for three months next week. Actually, let me give you my card. I have a travel blog, and you can see these photos for sale."

"I'll definitely check it out," she said grabbing the card. "Safe travels!"

"You too," I uttered.
