West Village Fashionistas



My favourite place in Manhattan is the West Village/ Meatpacking District. The cobblestone gives the area this unique old-fashioned feel, yet it is packed with hip designer boutiques such as Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, La Perla, Jeffrey New York, Scoop NYC etc, as well as 100's of restaurants and bars hidden between the cross-streets. After photographing hundreds of "fashionable" places I walked towards the pier and snapped some beautiful shots of the river as the sun was going down. The pier is an interesting place, reminiscent of San Francisco; I loved the logs in the water that made my photographs visually appealing because of their pattern. It was a great day photographing the village, but I hope to go deeper and discover even more...

You captured a very NYC moment- woman entering a yellow cab. It makes me wonder what her story is. Where is she going? Is she in a hurry? Keep me guessing!

I like your spontaneity in the capture of one moment.
As this girl who is getting into a taxi, and we certainly can recognize that she is a "fashionista"( by her Roman sandals who will be the trend of this summer by the way ;) )
