The Late All Points West Festival - Liberty State Park, N.J “We’re probably going to kill it,” says Phillips of APW, “mostly because the site. As beautiful as it is, it’s very hard to get New Yorkers to cross that river. All Points West is an experiment that just didn’t work.”

St Patrick's Day Parade 2013 NYC How often do you attend a major parade in falling snow?


Gay Pride March
Every year I look forward to Gay Pride day in New York. It's one of the few times that folks don't yell at you when you point a camera at them.

Memorial Day Parade One of the big ones and this is always my favorite visual... the sea of Flags

	The West Indian Parade Brooklyn, NY Of all the New York City parades, the West Indian Parade is by far the most spectacularly colorful with endless elaborate costumes and high energy revellers. With around 2 million people lining the route it is an unreal opportunity to capture some unique imagery.


A N D T H E W I N N E R I S . . .

t's the annual New York City Marathon and The Finish Line is clearly in sight.

	Nathan's Hot Dog Contest July 4th, Coney Island What better way to celebrate our independence than watching a bunch of folks pig out at the beach, cheered on to victory by the spectacle hungry crowd. The men's winner downs 60+ and the women's around 40+. Anyone for dessert?
