Photo Journal/ Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment, New York Style

I am glad to once more be a part of the Weekly Photo Challenge, whose theme is street photography that captures Fleeting Moments. As I am currently traveling right now with my family, I thought that this would be a perfect time to also share some of my photos from my new favorite city in the world, New York City!

Streets of New York, New York!

“There is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless.” 
― Simone de Beauvoir

“It’s ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story.” 
― Agatha Christie 

With my ten-year-old in New York

A ‘fleeting’ moment between my ten year old daughter and I. As I walk with resoluteness, she seems to walk with a bit of uncertainty and caution.

“I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York’s skyline. Particularly when one can’t see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible.

- Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

We are sisters. Twin souls.

“I love New York, even though it isn’t mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.” 
― Truman Capote

We are truly privileged to spend an afternoon with the literary icon, Madam Ninotchka Rosca who is based in New York, our Featured Academic during our Girl Power bimonthly theme. From L-R: Madam Ninotchka Rosca, my ten year old daughter, and myself.

“Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book -and does” 
― Groucho Marx
