New York City is the “City that Never Sleeps” – a concrete jungle full of 8 million people living in close proximity.

In NYC there’s always something going on no matter what time of day and there are always interesting subjects to photograph no matter where you are in town.  The hectic and eclectic nature e of the city is great for photographers but I’m not sure that I would want to live there on a long term basis.

In 2011 I made my 4th or 5th visit to NYC in as many years. Here are some of the best photos from my trip:

The Brooklyn Bridge seen from Lower Manhattan – we walked over to Brooklyn to get away from the busy city streets for a while.
