Susan NYC's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I love photography. I wish I had several hours a day to devote to taking, processing, and posting pictures - and still have time to sleep and work.

I earn a living by teaching college English in Manhattan, where I've lived since 1964. I've been teaching since 1974.

If you use a photgraph of mine according to the creative commons license (non commercial, no derivative, credit), please give me credit as Susan Sermoneta. (And it'd be great if you let me know where/how you're using the picture.)

I shoot with an M8, a Canon d40 (events), and a new S95 when my backpack is already too heavy to take the M8. Each camera is good for different kinds of shots, but my M8 is my hands-down favorite.

"Susan, Thanks for all the beautiful images. I'm really inspired by your portraits of people. Your work has movtivated me to get behind the lens more; and once I'm there do things differently. Thank you, Rich"

NyYankee says:

"I Like the New York City's Perspective that comes from Susan's Pictures. It seems she has a unique taste of capturing whatever is happening in the city that never sleeps. We can really see NYC through her pictures. Keep up with the good work, Susan!"

Steve took it says:

"Susan takes you on a detailed, unique and personal tour of her New York City. Through her camera we see a locals-eye-view of the architecture, graffiti and people that make her city so colorful and fascinating. From her sets on benchwarmers and city people to her perspective on colors and textures within restaurants, lobbies and museums, it’s a cityscape many will never notice. But Susan captures every overlooked detail and transforms them into unforgettable images. It’s a New York you will be glad you visited."

Rev. Santino says:

"Something is happening in the city.
Our photoreporter Susan is on the beat to capture anything we may have missed, freezing those moments for us to review.
Her service is huge, her eye is sharp and the titles are witty."

Newell the Jewell says:

"Always enjoy seeing new work submitted to Flickr by SusanNYC. Had the utmost pleasure of meeting her in person and observing her technique firsthand. In addition to having a keen eye, Susan's a great conversationist, down to earth, and laugh out loud hysterical."

stagewhisper says:

"Susan_NYC has a gift for catching people (and places) in the city in their most open and unselfconscious moments. It's almost as if she lets us glimpse all of the things contained just under the surface of the people and places in NYC she photographs- qualities that are usually covered by a thin protective layer- and lets their vulnerability and humanity filter out."

Derby City (Rachel Pace) says:

"Susan is a wonderful friend, teacher, hostess, guest and critic! She opens my eyes and has been for lots of years! Everything Scissors says is true. And she is confortable! She has a great inquisitive mind and excitedly shares her findings. I love to be with her in new places! Even before her flickr days, she flickr'd!

Thanks, Susan ~"

Runs With Scissors says:

"Whoa!

I must thank you for opening up what has become a vehicle for expression.

It wasn't enough for a close friend to get me to trust 'my eye' again.

It wasn't enough for the closest person to me to tell me it was okay to spend money I really didn't have because it was time to have a camera again.

It's not the time I spend or my effort capturing images that is so important.

It's was your generous invitations to examine your beloved camera closely, create an gmail account and lastly a Flickr account that has opened up a vechile that has allowed me pour all this into and travel in.

Thank you."
