Day 3

Our third day in New York was pretty awesome! It started off with a trip to Rick Beckers photographer studio. He is a professional photographer with a working studio in the heart of Manhattan. I really enjoyed this visit because I got a lot of information on how he got where he is and how everything works. His studio wasn't what I expected it to be, it was better! It was so organic and had everything and anything you could need to accompany your main subject in a shoot, there were windows, doors different flatboards and chairs hanging from the roof. It was everything he has accumulated over his years shooting commercial in NYC.

Here is his website link! http://rickbeckerstudios.com/








After the visit to the studio we went down to Ground Zero. It was really weird being there, I think we all kind of got the same feeling there. We also saw the memorial for the firefighters that were killed. The whole place was closed off and people were doing construction, the concept drawings for the new area looks really nice.







We got back on the bus and headed back to the area where the studio was, SoHo. We had time for lunch and to do a little shopping. I got a couple shirts and some pants nothing special ha wasn't in the mood for shopping! I mainly just did a lot of street photography of the people of NYC!







After that we ended up going to the Empire State Building. It was crazy! The view was amazing and the sunset was perfect! I couldn't have asked for anything else. After that we went back to the hotel where we did some last minute shopping and such then all of us hung out at the hotel! :D
