New York City before Sandy—Part 3

What do you think about when you think about New York City? 

Lots of people often default into thinking about “the bright lights of Times Square.”  Now, Times Square is not one of my favorite places in New York City, yet I do believe that it does illustrate what is New York City—for better or worse.

Here is a photograph of a clown that was walking around the area.  Immediately upon me raising my camera to my eye, he broke into this pose.  I like the photo because it is a typical scene that you will see in Times Square.

Enjoy.
