It's 9/10/11 and everyone in New York seems to have a heightened sense of nervousness and fear. Security is as tight as it can be without Manhattan becoming imposible to move around.
I did two trips to the area around the new World Trade Center to capture the people and the preparations around.
Just over a week has passed since tropical storm Irene visited Manhattan so I would like to share a little fun adventure we did the day before it visited us.
As Irene got closer, we could see downtown growing quieter, very few people walking the streets except the occasional photographer documenting and business owners making last minutes preparations.I called my friend Cristian and asked him if he would like to appear in photos for a fun little project.
I have a confession to make. I can never stay without doing anything for too long, my mind starts wandering too much and I need to keep it busy. This is part of the reason why i've played video games for so long, it helps but it's such a wasteful activity that I keep trying to find more productive ways to keep me distracted.
Today finally the hurricane had passed and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take my bike outside and se what has been happening
Leaving my apartment I found Water Street eerily quiet (photo from my cellphone)

Just under 9 hours before Hurricante Irene hits the NY East coast and I decided to cover some photos of my favorite street

Since moving to New York roughly four months ago, I get asked a lot what is my favorite thing about the city. Without a doubt this would be the fact that no matter how much I do, how many events I goto, im always feeling like im missing something awesome.
Saturday July 17 is the perfect example of days like this.
I like working with inspired people.
There is something special about meeting and interacting with people who are willing to go after their dreams. Such was the case when I met with some old friends, all three of them also from Puerto Rico, but also people who are willing to leave their lands and go where their work takes them.
After knowing them in the island and having different opportunities to collaborate with each one, it's pretty amazing to have all three of them here, at the roof of a Wall St. building.

I was lucky to work with this fantastic model in the Financial District of NY. She was impossibly hyper and funny, yet gave me a perfect look immediately whenever I asked. I know we will work together again.

Note: this is my first post using 500px as my posting engine, i'm amazed at the quality of the site and will probably be using it for all of my uploads in the coming future.
