IMMERSED

Despite its hustle and bustle, Union Square affords a sense of calm to let people immerse themselves in their own activities, oblivious of what is happening around. A number of these folks come here to play chess.

SUNDAE CHILL

I was scanning the sidewalks along Bowery in the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan when the name of this shop struck me. The warm sunset light and the couple chilling out with their sundae (or yogurt, because everyone eats yogurt) at the storefront added a nice touch to the scene. I stopped to take a photo but opted against it as I was in front of the couple, and doing so would break the candid mood. I walked a few steps past and found a spot with the brick columns framing the scene.

STILL
