A twilight walk through Times Square, New York

A twilight walk through Times Square, Manhattan, New York, NYC

Once one of the seedier parts of Manhattan, Times Square was cleaned up in the mid-1990s, with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani overseeing the closing of the porno theatres and pressurising the drug dealers and ‘squeegee men’ to relocate elsewhere.

Although it’s been Disneyfied and sanitised into a tourist-friendly cash-till, Times Square is still a fascinating and exciting place to walk through.  Here’s some photos from a December 2010 twilight ramble through the area.

New York - Manhattan street shots

I love photographing New York – for a while I was lucky enough to live and work there and I’m hoping to get back over this year.

I’ve visited the city many times, and each time have reeled off a ton of photos – some of which I’ve been lucky enough to see and thus finance the return trip. Woohoo!

Here’s a fairly random selection from my winter 2004 trip. I hope you like them!

Queensboro Bridge & the Roosevelt Island Tramway, NYC

March 16th, 2010 12:00pm No comments

We’re slowly working our way over every bridge out of Manhattan – we’ve strutted over the Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, the George Washington Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge, and a while ago we finally got to walk over the Queensboro Bridge (aka the 59th Street Bridge) on our way to the P.S.1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center.

Here’s a few photos:
