I cherish very good memories of my only and (unlucky me) brief trip to New York City. This happened more than 10 years ago, yet I remember the awe and fascination of this great city as if it all happened yesterday.
A few weeks ago I discovered with huge pleasure amazing photographer Vivienne Gucwa, who portrays the landscapes, architecture and neighborhoods of New York City. It was love at fist sight.
NY Through The Lens, features her photographs, through which she explores the ever changing urban landscapes of the five boroughs. Every photo is accompanied by a piece of writing, some of which are almost poems for the beauty and lyricism of her words and thoughts.
I was completely caught by the stories she tells, both photographic and written, and I have become a regular reader of her blog. Her pictures make me travel to NYC, I fly there with my imagination and get to know the city from the eyes of a native New Yorker. They make me wish to go back there with my camera, and start my own exploration and discovery of New York.
Now is a wonderful time to visit NYC. Actually just about anytime is good. But the weather is beautiful and spring has arrived.
Wish I could go there! For now, I must content myself with looking at these beautiful photos.
That’s my unfortunate experience of NYC too, brief and just the once. It’s an amazing place and I’d love to return. It looks like I’ll be able to now in a limited way at least! Thanks for sharing.
