I captured this photo from the roof of my building back in my New York City days. At the time my apartment was on Roosevelt Island, a strange little island just off the Upper East side of Manhattan that was peculiarly quiet and had stunning views. This image what actually captured on an old film camera I used to love shooting with. I remember having to set up the tripod, calculate exposure length and all those other complications a digital camera eliminates. To be honest I still love using with film, but the costs of film and processing make it a challenge with my current budget.
If there’s one thing I miss about NYC it’s views like this.

An out of the way place... 
CORRECTION: I actually miss my friends more than the city lights. Come to think of it I also miss the late night diners, the opera and a bunch of other stuff. I just liked the sound of that caption 😉
I miss my friends too! But I like the country life, it’s friendly and easy going, lots of trees and wildlife! Plus there are things to do here besides shopping.Lol 🙂
