Wall Street's Up - Brooklyn Bridge Down
Meeting Point: Financial District, 26 Wall Street
Daily 8:30am-12:30pm
First we'll meet up on the steps of Federal Hall, where George
Washington was inaugurated as the first U.S. President. From
there, you'll get a nice view of the New York Stock Exchange
nearby. Most of the streets in the Financial District are
extremely narrow. This, combined with some of Manhattan's tallest
skyscrapers, creates an experience similar to standing at the
bottom of a canyon. Many of these streets see very little
sunshine, even at high noon. This will create unique opportunities
for low-light daytime photography. As the sun trickles its way
down into the bottom of the canyon, we'll venture over to the
historic South Street Seaport district and then over to the
Brooklyn Bridge with long views of the Statue of Liberty to the
southwest.
Downtown Eclectic
Meeting Point Sheridan Square, Greenwich Village
Daily 8:30am-12:30pm
First we'll meet up in the heart of Greenwich Village, Sheridan
Square.
Greenwich Village is known for being "off the grid."
That is, while nearly all of Manhattan was designed as a rigid
grid of avenues running north and south perpendicular to streets
running east and west, the streets of Greenwich Village retain
their original haphazard layout, complete with diagonals, odd
angles and dead-end alleys. Even life-long New Yorkers can get
lost trying to navigate these streets.
One very scenic block that appears to be absolutely unchanged
since the 1790s is Commerce and Barrow. Here you'll definitely get
a unique perspective on how the scales and perspectives of the
Village can change from block to block. From there we'll head to
the famous Washington Square Park and continue into From SoHo,
Little Italy and before you know it, you'll be in Chinatown.
Bright Lights - Big City
Meeting Point Bryant Park Fountain
Daily except Sunday 7pm-11pm
During this tour you will be photographing some of central
Manhattan's brightest, most classic nighttime spots. Think
"Bright Lights, Big City." Starting off, we will meet at
the fountain on the west end of Bryant Park, opposite the New York
Public Library. Bryant Park itself is very photogenic, with people
relaxing on the lawn or in chairs surrounding it. Take in
commanding views of the Chrysler Building, which can be seen along
42nd Street.
We'll walk to nearby Times Square, an international icon of New
York City known for its sophisticated electronic billboard
imagery. It is there that you will be in the unmistakable heart of
New York and come away with photographs that show the diversity
and energy of the Big Apple. See all the faces in the crowd, the
wonder and amazement of the Great White Way. Walking up Broadway
through Times Square to the instantly recognizable lights of Radio
City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center.. We'll take in all of the
Art Deco style architecture, see some famous sculptures and maybe
even some of the holiday decorations. Then it's on over to Fifth
Avenue, passing world-class stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue,
Bergdorf Goodman, Tiffany & Co., and end at the Plaza Hotel,
located on Central Park South.
