I am not a native New Yorker. I came here when I was seventeen years old and have called New York home since day one. I have lived in other States and traveled to other countries and have found that there is no place like the big NY.
If I need beautiful sunsets I can walk over to the Riverside Park on the upper West side and point my camera towards New Jersey. I took this picture about two years ago and always find pleasure when I look at it.
If I want to photograph monuments and things big... we have that. The picture of the Statute of Liberty I took while riding the Staten Island Ferry. The boat ride is free and you get views of the city and the Statute that are breath taking.
One of the most important aspects of living in this city is that whatever you want or desire you can find it here. Want ice cream at 2 am? There's a place for that. Need medicine for a tooth ache? You guessed right; there's a place for that. The magic of the whole thing is that there is a store or place open at any time of say or night where you can go to get what you need or want. To me that is priceless.
