Christmas at New York City: Rockefeller Center and Saks Fifth Avenue
Day 2 of photography workshop with Joe McNally in New York City during the Christmas season.
This time we spent an evening mingling in with the crowds at Rockefeller Center and Saks Fifth Avenue. It was not easy finding a composition or even a spot to stand anywhere near the ice-skating rink, the Channel Gardens or the Christmas display on the frontal facade of the department store.
Christmas at New York City: Downtown Manhattan
This year, I had a wonderful opportunity to take part in a workshop with photography legend Joe McNally in New York City during the Christmas season.
For several days, we walked the streets of Manhattan, practicing new techniques to capture the festive mood and getting daily critique from the maestro himself. What makes Joe McNally stand out from his peers of insanely talented and successful photographers? He is a very humble and tactful coach who eagerly shares his trade secrets.
Here’s just a small portion of the photographs I took on the first night of the workshop in Lower Manhattan, wandering in and out of Oculus at World Trade Center, the 9/11 Memorial Pools, and Winter Garden at Brookfield Place.
Thank you, Liza and Ari at Fancy Girl Street Boy, for organizing the workshop and being wonderful hosts and welcoming guides.
