In a New York 'Altered' State of Mind

Here lies the ever growing collection of various trips to the big apple. This last go around started with a sobering tour of ground zero and the financial district. We also went on a less than stellar literary pub crawl of Greenwich Village, but the company and the raw energy of the village made for a very pleasant afternoon. I have also included some photos from the Hamptons and Montauk where I got to reconnect with some family and extended family that truly made this last trip very special. As always I look forward to expanding this collection as often as possible.

I've added these pictures to the growing number of photos in this gallery and retired some of the older redundant shots. Most of the photos are from my 5D MKII or 30D with a few from my phone

I believe in New Yorkers.
Whether they’ve ever questioned the dream
in which they live, I wouldn’t know, because
I won’t ever dare ask that question.

- Dylan Thomas
