After visiting the International Center of Photography and having lunch in a Chinese restaurant, I returned to Penn Station, as you can see, still under construction. As I got off the subway a young woman walked past me and she was moving. I caught a glimpse of her and realized that she is a great New York type, because she was in a hurry, and because of the way she was dressed, what she was carrying and the fact that she was texting as she went! So I upped my pace and caught up with her but stayed even with her, and as I walked along, I pointed my camera at her sideways without looking to see what was in the frame. I did have a wide angle lens on. I probably snapped about 12 photographs of her walking and had no idea if she was actually in the frame! I was thrilled to see this image when I stopped walking fast and took a look. A quintessential New Yorker, indeed!
