Mannequin
This photograph is amusing; I am taking the exact same picture from inside the shop as a man outside the store looking in. I can imagine his photo with me in it looking as strange as my photo with him in it. hah... There were so many more objects I wanted to take photos of in that store (Jeffrey), but if they were to catch me it would have been bad news because I was already warned when I came into the store "NOT TO USE MY CAMERA". Why do you think that is? If I wanted to steal the designs I could just look online to style.com or he designer's website. Why do stores freak out SO much?!
West Village/ Meatpacking Dist.
Oh the village! When I think of the West Village I sigh, I love the area so much and find myself wandering there every single day. SO many colours found in unknown places: the street lights, the graffiti, signs, the river, the taxis, the buildings... There is so much contrast, it was a joy to shoot. Also, the people watching is incredible, especially those modelesque girls sauntering down the coblestones in 4 inch heels. Loved it because I was able to incorporate my love for fashion photography ;)

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...
