Well, just like that I’m back in Melbourne. My trip to New York was surreal. 6 days spent wringing every minute out of an amazing city. It didn’t leave much time for blogging, having spent more time behind a camera lens rather than in front of a computer screen. So here I am catching you up on my adventures in photos.
Follow me on my little one hour adventure as I picked up my camera and chased the light through Greenwich Village from 6.30 to 7.30pm.
Watching life go by on 6th Avenue
Jefferson Market Library Clock Tower
Jefferson Market Garden
Sunbeams on Jefferson Market Garden
Locals chill out to beautiful guitar playing in Jefferson Market Garden
The setting sun bounces light bouncing off the windows of the building across 6th Avenue
Catching the last beams of the day
A curious alignment
Peeking into a private garden
A pop of green on Minetta Lane
A quick stop to say hello to Marley
Possibly my favourite photo of the evening – stunning light
Wishing I had one of these to save my legs on the walk home!
I hope you enjoyed my photos. I certainly enjoyed taking them. A lot of things started to click (pun intended!) with my photography as I got to know my camera better. I was definitely inspired by Rachel Devine’s book and had just got back from a photography workshop she spoke at before heading out to take these. This photo crash test has definitely resulted in better photos of New York that last time I was here!
If you like them, please comment so I know if you want to see more. I have many more!

Lovely shots, especially the street lights in the trees and the shadows on the fire escapes. Great to see NY in a different light (all puns intended – bad as it may be ;)
Great photos Laney! i really love the one of the man playing guitar in Jefferson Market Garden.

I love a post of pictures. Gives us a chance to fill in the blanks… or just dream it was us that was there… ha! Welcome back to not-so-sunny Melboune.

Hi Jessica. Thanks for dropping by :)
I met you in a queue for the Facebook and Twitter session right? BlogHer was crazy busy!
Love the pics – they move NYC up the list of my ‘Really Need to Get to Soon’ places. :)
Michelle’s last post..Chemical Mess 101
Thanks Michelle. It was pretty hot when we were there, with the odd thunderstorm. It would probably be a little more bearable in September. Imagine Central Park in the Fall? Stunning.
Love the photos! More please! X
Thanks Bindi. I’ve yet to share my best photo! I love it so much.
They are all gorgeous shots. Well done! With where I am in photography now, I would love to go back to all the places I travelled in the past, especially New York, and be snap happy. It would be so rewarding! BTW, if you love “chasing light” there is an amazing Instagrammer who does just that. She has beautiful nature shots. @lena_rin #chasinglight.
Veronica @ Mixed Gems’s last post..Friendship: Learning to let go
Thanks Veronica. The hour I spent taking these will always be a special memory. I think I had a goofy grin on my face the whole time. Thanks for the recommendation – I’ll definitely check out Lena.
Just beautiful Laney!

Thanks Louisa – I hope you could relive some of your recent memories ;)
Very happy for you to share. And keep sharing! Great pics. I love the ones of the Jefferson Market garden. Gorgeous.
Alli @ Ducks on the Dam’s last post..Holiday mode
Thanks Alli. I’ve got quite a few more! That little garden was just gorgeous. There is a group of locals who volunteer to look after it. I made a donation to visit, it’s such a precious little pocket.
Well Done Laney, they are brilliant shots.
Mandy’s last post..Recipe: Cauliflower & Leek Soup
Thanks Mandy, what a difference a DSLR makes right?
I’d love to see more photos :)
Gorgeous pics Laney, I love them and yes would love to see more. Make me dream of days past :)
Kyrstie @ A Fresh Legacy’s last post..Stuffed Pumpkin Bread
Forget days past, start dreaming up some future plans. Hubby and I are hatching a plan for a visit to New York on our 10th anniversary (still 4 years away!).
gorgeous photos Laney – sure looks like a wonderful place to visit!

Thank you Lisa. Greenwich in the afternoon light is magical.
Hi there Laney,
I believe this is my first time to be here in your blog.
Wow, those photos were great. My favorite was the view at the Jefferson Market Garden.
Fantastic Lanely! Within 1 hour you really captured some beautiful shots! Even before I read your comment, the dusk lighting on the exterior of the building was my favorite shot too!!!
