Last winter, my wife and I spent a week in NYC doing the typical things a tourist might do. It wasn’t explicitly a photo trip, but I still brought me camera because I figured I’d find something to photograph. Normally, if I’m shooting a city, I spend a lot of time just walking around for street and architecture photography. This trip didn’t have much time for that, as we had an itinerary to stay on. But here are a few shots I got that liked.

The next few are from museums. I feel weird shooting museums, as everything is already displayed for viewing in person, and far better photos of every artwork are usually available online. But I had to give the interior of the iconic Guggenheim a try, and I did get a couple shots from the Met that I really liked.

I spent the most time at The Cloisters, a branch of the Met on the far north end of Manhattan that houses stunning medieval European art, much of it architectural and including several sets of actual cloisters brought over from Europe and rebuilt on site. If it feels like you are wandering an old French castle, it’s because you actually are.

This last shot was from my favorite space in the Cloisters, the Fuentidueña chapel, from a twelfth century Segovian church. It was abandoned and in disrepair at the time it was acquired by the Met and brought over in 1931.
I have a few more photos from New York, but I’ll save them for their own post as they are kinda their own thing. Thanks for stopping by and see you next time.
