This October, I had the chance to visit New York City for the first time. It was far too short of a visit, but it was incredibly worth it. Manhattan has an infectious energy that makes you want to stay and explore more. Full of history and promise for the future, the city calls for me to return.

Arlin and I were able to visit with our friends Annie and Kelso for a two day weekend whirlwind adventure. While I didn’t spend nearly enough time on my primary camera (and thus am not super happy with the photos I got), I figured I would share some of those images here. Sometimes you have to be more present in the moment, and try for better photos on a future visit.

The following gallery is combination of photos taken with my phone and my Sony a7r II.
