Times Square, NYC - 2011//
Last summer when I was spending time wandering around Midtown I got sucked into Times Square a few times. I asked myself, “Why not try to make a few photographs here?”
I’m not jaded enough by NYC yet to find it completely revolting. There’s a certain absurd peacefulness to it that I find comforting at times. That normally lasts about 20 minutes though, and can be shortened to about 5 minutes if a bus passes by with tourists waving their hands back and forth as New York New York blares. Where’s a camera when you need it?
I haven’t been back to Times Square with a camera recently. I work on 34th St so I could wander over there after work if I wanted but the thought rarely pops into my head. Maybe that’s some sort of sign? I’ve been here for three years now which is nothing really in the grand scheme of things. Maybe I’ll go visit some crummy sports bar in Times Square soon to recapture some of that 2011 nostalgia.
