There is a starlit night sky above New York city that I have always wanted to bring out and see. I believed that a cold winter night sky might help bring out its clarity but have been so busy I could not get to Brooklyn to scout shooting spots.

That changed last evening. Cindy and I decided to go on an adventure after dropping my father at home in Long Island. Dealing first with an hour of stopped traffic getting over the Koskiasco bridge, the hurdles seemed to be foreshadowed. Shooting in NYC is like shooting nowhere else.

Finally arriving at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 2, we wandered out, Styder in tow, to find a location. One cop car scare for walking an unleashed dog and brutally frigid temps chased the dog and my lady back to the car. I'll be honest, I wanted to go too. But I was not sure when I could get back and besides, once the shot is in my head I have to take it.

Finally finding the view I was looking for, I set up my gear and began to fire away. One again, I was complimented by an ADD affected Asian tourist who just about set his tripod up over my shoulder to get the same shot. I must be blessed.

By the time the series was finished, I could no longer feel my toes or finger. I packed up and hoped I had some usable images. I will be editing this series for a while but wanted to share this first view.

I hope you enjoy.
