You did a fine composition of the Merchant Marine sculpture. For some action, take the ferry to Staten Island. I'm glad I have a series of shots of the WTC in my collection. The scene won't be the same without those towers. On my rounds I would drop into the restaurants in the basement of the WTC. St Paul and Trinity Church are interesting subjects. I worked in the area as well. Would spend my lunch breaks shooting with a Minox GT along Water Street. And a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge was always good for a brace of shots. I'd leave my car parked on the at Brooklyn Heights on Sundays and spend the day shooting in the City. A walk down Canal Street brought in a lot of Asian color. Then north on Broadway to the Village. I believe Leica had a PR office on Broadway when I left NYC during 1997 for the Northwest. I'll probably never return to those haunts. Bob
