New York, New York! My very first stop on my trip through the Americas.

This trip is the first time I've visited the USA and so I was keen to go out and experience every inch of the city.

Everything about this city screams big and bold - the bumblebee yellow and black colour scheme of the traffic lights, taxis and school buses; the oversized 6 metre wide sidewalks and pedestrian crossings; and avenue blocks that take you 5 minutes to walk between. The boldness is also reflected in the personality of the people that live in this city who instinctively seem to involve themselves with whatever is going on in your head. I've had amusingly engaging conversations with homeless people who have brazenly reached out to me on the street to ask for money, filter paper for cigarettes and random other items, to train guards who have shouted instructions to me over the loudspeaker of a subway train.

Covering Brooklyn, Wall Street, Ground Zero, China Town, Little Italy and East Village, check out my photo series documenting the City of New York.
