these fotos are kind of old, back when i had just moved to new york – i’d been there maybe a year. and they were taken sans tripod. i think it was in september – i didn’t anticipate the weather being as cold as it was. but did you know humidity works in the cool temps?! holy crap yes it does!
i had some guests in town from colorado and they wanted to squeeze in as much tourism as possible. the empire state building was always a go-to for me when i had visitors. it never gets old for me. even though i don’t like the heights, i like the view. i took another trip up during the daytime with a friend, i’ll have to find those fotos. will i pay 30 bucks and visit again when i am in the city in october? mmmmmaybe not. we’ll see. it’s nice to know people with rooftop views – that’s like prime real estate in new york!
i took a lot of pictures, but many of them were blurry because i was shivering from the rain/wind combo. they even blocked off the top – due to weather conditions. but it’s always a good time with my homies :
completely cold and wet… and man, are they tall! miss you E & G!
i also miss that hat.
i’m the short one…
the light pollution from new york city is crazy – look at all that colour-casting. and i did some editing!
oh hey, new jersey.
times square/midtown…
i love my boy Geoff’s hoodie…
i also only brought one lense with me… so everything you are seeing is from a 50mm perspective… as they eye sees, did you know that?!
you can *almost* see my old apartment…
i heart you, new york.

Wow, there is like nothing going on in that one deserted picture (number 2 from the top). When I was there for 9/11 there were a ton of tourists trying to squeeze in during night. Not fun! How long ago was this? It actually is $25 now – way overpriced. 😉

hi laura, thank you for your comment! i think this was pretty late at night for one, and it was in late september i believe. it was so cold and rainy and that’s why no one was there! i don’t recommend doing it during that kind of weather though – it wasn’t that much fun, it was just memorable because i had my friends with me, and of course – my camera 😉

Yeah, I went up in April of 2011 for my first time. It was pretty cold and windy, rather annoying than enjoyable. So I know what you mean! 🙂

yeah… i’d like to go up during sunset or when the lighting is incredible and just enjoy the view instead of shivering 😉
