My week in Instagram: gorgeous New York City, Martin Scorsese and Behind the Screen at the Museum of the Moving Image.

GPOYW risking your life for a photo

I decided to get on top of the bridge to take the photo on the bottom and then my dad decided to take a photo of me to prove just how crazy/dumb I am. There was barely anything to hold onto, the wind was fierce, on the other side of me was a highway and I was wearing Toms, not the steadiest shoes for bridge climbing. It felt like one gust of wind and I’d be splat on the pavement. Sometimes I get the feeling I’d be one of those photographers who gets herself into precarious situations in order to get a good shot. Like her.

I never get tired of seeing the Empire State building. View from the Brooklyn Bridge.

Like I said, when my parents were in town I was unabashedly a tourist. I have lived in NYC more than 2 years now and I had never walked across the Brooklyn Bridge (despite working like 2 blocks away from it). It’s quite the lovely experience at sunset!

Perk of my parents being in town? I got to be a tourist without actually feeling bad about it. This city really is lovely.

Tuesday, January 31. Bloody gorgeous day of the last day of the first month of the year.
