This is the photo I chose for my Macaulay Snapshot.

It was Saturday night and I was at a pool hall with some friends. After a full day of contemplating what scene will be the focus of my picture, it dawned upon me amidst a game of pool. I looked around me and saw various types of people: a few children, teens, young adults, and even elderly adults. There people of different ethnicities and of different backgrounds. Each person there had their own story. Yet, at that point in time, we were all doing the same thing: playing a simple game of pool. When I think of NYC, I think of an incredible wide range of people, all sharing a single sense of community. I believe this idea is encompassed by this picture.
