Saturday Night Billiards

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.

The Tallest Building in New York

The Tallest Building in New York

 

We think we have accomplished great things. This is the picture of the most influential person in your life staring at the tallest building in New York. This building was built before the city was named “New York,” and by far, is above all other architectures ever built by humans on this earth. It is currently not available for view, but one can vague see the shadow of this structure. It is truly a magnificent piece of artwork.

 

Just Breathe

photo (1)This photo was taken by the Tribeca Hotel on my way to a yoga class. It perfectly describes my relationship with the city. Tribeca has one of the greatest vibes in the city and it reminds me of how beautiful our city is even where there are not many skyscrapers. This neighborhood possesses a welcoming atmosphere with its small streets, a plethora of restaurants and cafes, and super friendly people. It is a pleasure to walk the streets of this neighborhood.

I titled the photograph “Just Breathe” because as I was on my way to a yoga class this was my state of mind.
