New York state of mind

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

USA | Saturday, October 16, 2010 | 4 photos

Walking on New York footpaths too often you get caught up in the frantic mob. When this happens, it seems like that mob imposes you where to go and how much fast, possibly even where to look up at buildings and neon lights. I try to defend myself against this unpleasant feeling, and I find out that in the heart of the metropolis is possible to have moments of true serenity and calm clearness. Here is possible to find very private points of view from where we can stare at the city, and it shows us some of its more genuine and hidden faces.

Despite my age, I still don’t know what to do with my life yet. I just know that I want to travel and do photography. Photography is my way to try to get something deeper and meaningful about the word and the people around me, and this is so important to me especially when I travel. Camera is my sharpest tool. It helps me to adjust my tune when the surrounding is unknown. Looking through it I’m able to find points of view that I’d not even think about otherwise. I just love this, it’s such a drug for me. I think it’s my best bet to become a better and more aware person.
