Manhattan, New York, USA

Home by birth and never forgotten. New Yorkers are a special breed. The speed, the colors, the lights, the sounds, the smells, and the people and their foods are what make New York the "boiling pot of America".

My original neighborhood, Chelsea, was and still has many of the great old apartment buildings that originally covered the city. Brownstones have to be one of the best overall architectural designs that can blend in perfectly with the new. One of the best made concepts was that of the stoop, where me and my friends all hanged-out during the days and evenings. In addition, where else could you play stoop ball?The city that never sleeps will always be my home away from home.

And one of my recent favorite shots depicting a schooner in the midst of a modern city.
