New York is a great city for photographers - unlike the car-choked hell of Los Angeles, it's a great walking city and there's always something to catch the eye.

Here's a selection of photos taken during our walks around Manhattan and Brooklyn in the winter of 2008. Most were taken on our Lumix LX3 compact camera - a truly fantastic camera I can't recommend highly enough.

I would have taken more photos with my Nikon D300, but the ruddy thing packed up (again) after just three days and - annoyingly - started working perfectly as soon as we touched down back in England.

Anyhow, here's some of the city details and street scenes that I snapped.

New York's iconic yellow cabs.

A lot of the drivers barely have a clue where anything is once you get out of central Manhattan, but unlike London cabbies, they're as cheap as chips and will take you just about anywhere.
