In case you're not keeping up with all the important me-related news... I'm uploading shots from each day of my NYC trip to a flickr set, so check 'em out if you haven't already. Please feel free to comment on the photos on flickr or email me with any questions.

Today I headed over to Times Square in mid-town to get a few of the typical shots and to try to get some creative new takes on probably one of the biggest tourist spots. I spent much of my time shooting for a series idea I had involving [relatively] long exposures in daylight (1 second), to de-emphasize the actual persons in the shot and give greater weight to the movement of said persons. For me it's sort of like capturing the soul of the city, as it breathes. The original idea was to take 60-second exposures, but it became a little more abstract at that point than what I was really aiming for. Half my time shooting today was probably spent in the subway system. At day's end, I'd recorded a bit more than 600 images and I narrowed those down to about 115. Here are some of my favorites from the day:
