If you approach the world with a positive attitude, it works wonders (toward the world and toward your own psyche).<BR/>It takes energy though. If you don't have the energy it's tough.<BR/><BR/>Hi Adam<BR/>My doppleganger is out there, lol<BR/>Well everyone has his or her own experiences of this place.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm idealistic, but I'm of the mind though that they are basically similar within the same circles.<BR/><BR/>Hi Brian<BR/>I so agree. You get the best and worst people here, and I think the city draws them for various reasons.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mab<BR/>Yeah I guess the horrible people have inner issues and lash out at the world, lol. But when you're stressed with work, it's tough to take their stuff. The best strategy is to steer clear of them, as you say.<BR/><BR/>Welcome JA<BR/>So true, photography is exactly how you see the world. It's interesting and limitless.<BR/><BR/>Hi Tammy<BR/>I'm sure you'll be a part of that happy older couple! (well, not that particular one) How cute?<BR/><BR/>Thanks Kelly!<BR/>Well said.<BR/><BR/>Hi PP<BR/>Well, I've just been using the 40D on the weekends because it's so heavy! Carrying my purse, phone, wallet, pens and sometimes a measuring tape gets sooo heavy. <BR/>I'm impressed by you. Perhaps I need to get to the gym?<BR/><BR/>Hi Tam<BR/>The furry friends help immensely, don't they? And they have no idea how much!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-51883465937799692562008-05-07T21:08:00.000-04:002008-05-07T21:08:00.000-04:00Ah, life is like that here too.

Are you used to carrying around a big camera yet? I myself am still trying to get the hang of the bulkiness :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-89734972086841027472008-05-07T17:01:00.000-04:002008-05-07T17:01:00.000-04:00The couple in the photo are a nice contrast to the...The couple in the photo are a nice contrast to the characters in your post.Profile Not Availablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759219075260619910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-13687957076461800862008-05-07T16:28:00.000-04:002008-05-07T16:28:00.000-04:00I love the picture of the older couple walking arm...I love the picture of the older couple walking arm and arm.

We always photograph accordingly to concepts, beliefs, theories, bias, etc. I think that if we understand that, as you do, our photos can be more sincere, more true.Joao Augusto Aldeiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123468247310036922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-54022279353055613642008-05-07T09:34:00.000-04:002008-05-07T09:34:00.000-04:00I try not to let horrible people get to me ,I thin...I try not to let horrible people get to me ,I think that they must have their reasons for being so.I think the majority are kind and friendly,to have a nasty boss must be a nightmare though.The lady I work for is a darling.Mabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290118638518931915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-23126259074605942032008-05-07T09:18:00.000-04:002008-05-07T09:18:00.000-04:00New York is certainly a city of extremes, from inc...New York is certainly a city of extremes, from incredible generosity and selflessness to the worst examples of rapacity mean-spiritedness. New York City is a big stage and thus attracts the most emotive personalities, for good or ill. We can only hope that the positive efforts outweigh the negative.BrianChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474333393989390643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-66942542905785979222008-05-07T08:21:00.000-04:002008-05-07T08:21:00.000-04:00I saw your profile photo on post card this past Su...I saw your profile photo on post card this past Sunday; I'm guessing that's not the real kitty. :p<BR/><BR/>I think you do a fine job of sharing your city.
