New York City

Just got back from New York City. Some Friends from college, my wife to be and I all went up to experience New Years in Times Square. This has always been something on my bucket list and I was glad to complete it with such great people.
I really love the energy of New York and, since 911, have always been impressed with the friendliness, helpfulness and humility of the people who call Manhattan home. We went to a lot of touristy sights I had seen before, but I got to take some good pictures of them this time for the portfolio.
This trip to new york was also the first time I have ever been to a Broadway musical. We went to see The Phantom Of The Opera at The Majestic Theater. It was awesome!

I was so impressed by everything about the performance, and especially enjoyed trying to figure out how the stage pieces and special effects worked. If you are like me and have been putting off anything associated with word musical, I urge you to take a chance and go see a Broadway musical the next time you are in new york. Most likely you will find a new form of art/entertainment that you will enjoy time and time again.
I look forward to visiting the city that never sleeps again soon. There is always something new to see, do and experience there and the energy is contagious.

New York, NY


Every time I visit New York I like it more and more. The city is vibrant, diverse, and always moving. I don't think I could live there for more than six months, but it is a great city to visit. I got to visit walk around and see a lot of the city on foot. One of the highlight was seeing the new Apple store on 5th Avenue. The entrance is a solid glass cube about twenty feet high with glass stairs leading down into the store below. You can view a Quicktime VR of it here and here.
We had our eleventh and final event on the southeast side of the city, and had a lot of fun. There was the largest crowd yet, and all the finalist we had met at the previous events were there. I had a great time on the tour and got to see a lot of new and exciting places and have some new experiences. I am really glad for the opportunity I was afforded in working on this tour, and look forward to the posibility of doing similar promotional work in the future.
