photography by me

My first time going to NY... It has been a dream for a while and I'm still in shock that I was ACTUALLY there. SP and I stayed at the Grace Hotel right smack dab in the centre of Times Square. Tourist central! I stood at the centre of it all. Wading with my camera in hand into the sea of people hustling and bustling all around me. The energy and buzz was infectious. Apologies for the obligatory first-timer-in-NY Times Square photos... I don't even have an outfit shot! Perhaps you can get an idea of what I was wearing through the shots of clothing. One from the contents of my suitcase. The other of translucent undergarments from my stop at Forever 21. Went there first. Obviously... Dinner was at French Roast. Wine was had. This NEVER happens for me, I just cannot get into it!? And then there's me holding a glass of red trying to look classy while simultaneously feeling like a fraud because everyone can see that I am CLEARLY not a wine connoisseur... Oh well, at least the soup was good xxx
