Camping in Times Square

A couple months ago, Amit and Zach were talking and thought that it'd be cool to gather a whole bunch of people to go camping and photographing together one night right here in Manhattan. They agreed do a test run in Times Square.

On Saturday, June 11 at midnight, Zach, Paul, and Amit arrived to pitch camp.
