Quick!

I know, this doesn't really hold up at any remotely large size - but seeing this businessman lurch across 42nd Street, taking his life into his hands, I had to wave my camera in the rough direction of the action and get a couple of snaps....

Oh--this is such a wonderful shot! Such a classic NYC shot, but rarely captured this well. The guy's expression is great--you can practically feel his stress and anxiety. The swirly building design makes the shot more complex and inviting--neat scene.

life in the city whizzes by!
Always in a rush but I have found it is not the natives rushing around-it's the people who live in Jersey and LI who are always in a hurry!
cool shot!

LOL@ Art. I think he's got a point. Those of us who live here know that you'll only end up rushing to a heart attack. That's why we prefer to be late. It's healthier :)

I just realized that he appears to be looking at his watch, as well. Fabulous timing! No pun intended.
