Blog Day 7 by Jesse Martens and Bryce Ottewell
New York was an experience of a lifetime. The trip
was full of stories and adventures.
Having to wake up the next day bright eyed and bushy tailed after a
long day of walking just felt right because we were all looking forward
to the next day of adventure.
We visited landmarks
like The Rockefeller Center, Brooklyn Bridge, Liberty Island, Ellis
Island, Central Park, Times Square, Coney Island and many more.
We also visited many museums including Aperture, Public Private Secret exhibition at the International Center of Photography,
MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) and the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
These places had effects on everyone around. Rushing ahead of others to get a photo first, getting
so absorbed by a spot where a great photo would be produced, they would
be left behind to catch up. Even talking to people on the street and
hearing their stories
gave our pictures even more meaning.
We had a blast as we
experienced the beauty of New York through the lens.
