I just take this post and your advices for my (I hope) future travel to NY city!
great movement photo, the lights are so spectacular!

Good photo capture -- looks like what you see out of the corner of your eye as you go by in a cab or car over the bridge...
Totally love your blog.
Great work! I wish you publish ...I would definately buy the book.
Keep going!
Each and every visit to NY, I try to walk at least once over the Brooklyn Bridge to enjoy the vistas. Thank you for bringing back beautiful memories with your image. I like it.
