New York got hit with another decent snow last night. They measured a little more than 8 inches in Central Park, {which normally would have been a "big snow"} but considering what we went through around the holidays this was a piece of cake. I got some street shots this morning on my walk to the subway, which would have been a nice change from all the nighttime/indoor pictures I have posted for the last few days...but that's not what I'm posting for my picture today. I think more than anything else so far, this 365 project has really taught me to open my eyes and look at what I would normally just pass by. Living in New York, I am bombarded by stimulus everywhere I turn. To tell you the truth... you get used to the constant activity around you. You {unfortunately} get used to the homeless on the sidewalks, the beautiful buildings, the people that walk by you, and at some point you even get used to the naked homeless tranny bottom up on your subway car on the way home from work {true story}. I'm on quite a tangent here...the point is, on my walk home this evening I noticed a lonely Starbucks cup {garbage, I'm sure} sitting on top of a mailbox.
Can't you just see this picture on a greeting card?? "Sending you warm wishes in the blizzard!" or "Here's a Starbucks gift card to warm you up!" Well, maybe not...but my point is that without the 365 project I never would have noticed. :)
On another note, still relating to noticing what is around you, you might have seen that I added a section to the blog. Take a look and let me know what you think.
Goodnight!
xoxo
