These are from my visit to New York City between January and February of 2011. The plan was to just use New York as a two day layover before continuing onto the Midwest, but partially thanks to meeting a particular someone while in Berlin, I got stuck in the big apple for about two weeks. Previously I had an utter distaste for the city, but after my time there I fell in love with it. There was even a brief afternoon where I roamed around Manhattan and Brooklyn deliberating the possibility of moving there.
Also apparently New Yorkers freak out easily over the tiniest bit of snow, or so I felt after spending a few winters in Minneapolis and Chicago.
Catching up to some old photos. These were shot in Reykjavík, Iceland in January of 2011. Reykjavík was kind of an interesting sleepy place, I mostly kept to myself while ducking into cafe after cafe, roamed around the downtown area primarily. By far this was one of the most unoccupied by tourist big cities I've been to (much different in the summer time though). Slept in a bit, got to bed early, mulled around on the internet, got work done, read. 45mph ice rain winds will do that to you, felt almost like hibernation since daylight was very short. Actually completely enjoyed it quite a bit, especially after the hustle and bustle of London.
And my lovely host, Andie Nordgren.
