Taking advantage of the last 15 minutes I had before needing to head inside Penn Station to travel back to Virginia, I waited … and waited … for the perfect pedestrian to help frame this shot of the Empire State Building. I had just about run out of time when this young woman stepped out of a taxi. It was a great way to end a great visit to NYC!

I focused so much on the pedestrian, that I actually missed the Empire State Building (embarrassed to admit that).
I love that you couldn’t wait inside, and how to get back out to the energy of the streets 🙂

Ha! She does make for a striking subject, doesn’t she? As for my energy, good thing my hubby was being a good sport (although truth be told he didn’t stand a chance – waiting in Penn Station vs out on the city streets? No contest for what I like to shoot 🙂 Thanks, Laurie!

Thanks, Patti! Just couldn’t spend my last minutes inside Penn Station. Left my hubby with the bag and I went back out on the streets 😍

LOL, Lisa! I did feel like a stalker. She was plugged into her iPhone or iPod or something, so she never saw me, despite my short distance from her. As for the clarity, it’s the Fuji again 🙂

And your patience pays off. This reminds me of a fashion layout from a trendy magazine. Amazing capture, Stacy.

Thanks, Alys!! I was so excited when I saw the woman exit the taxi that I almost missed the shot. I think that would have haunted me for a while if I had 🙂
