I have lived an hour outside of NYC for my whole life and once I started getting into photography I could not wait to return, and I snapped this photo on a visit with a few close friends for my birthday. One of the most amazing aspects of NYC is that everything is always changing and people are always moving, and you will most likely not capture the same picture twice. While the Flat Iron building will always be there, the bird flying through the frame makes this black and white photo even more dramatic.
