The People of New York City

I'm gonna step away from the food and address something for a moment. The interesting and strange and brilliant diverse walks of life that make up New York City.  Just when I think I've seen it all, something else comes and shatters the record for most odd and insane.

Friends have been bugging me since last summer to post a photo album I was starting to create on facebook. Called The People of New York.  Shots from folks in all the five boroughs. People from Chinatown to Washington Heights to Elmhurst Queens. Cross Island Expressway to Coney Island Brooklyn. All in a way that both surprise me and remind me of the diversity I get to live amongst everyday.  Drifters, fashion models, crazies, nudes, street performers, businessmen. Once my friends started seeing the photo's that I posted, all taken on my iPhone (except one), they would start to send me pictures taken from their iPhones. Anyway we built up a library so I thought I'd share. I can't take all the credit. Julian, Lee, Jen and Laura were contributing photographers. you know what? for a phone it takes pretty good shots. Enjoy!
