A nice day for a bike ride

Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 20 November 2010 in People & Portrait.

Another shot of People on the street in Manhattan, the good thing about photography is you become more observant of all the different types and characters of people around Manhattan

Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Was away for a while but finally back

You are right JJ - walking around with a camera makes you look at everything differently. Love this guys safety consciousness in wearing his helmet, but falls short with the sandles.

London Caller from United Kingdom

Indeed! Do you guys have lots of cyclist lanes in NYC?
We don't have many of them in London, so sometimes people cycle on the pavements.
And they don't stop at red lights?!
Well, this is how we cycle in London...
