Reflections
Upon embarking on this project, I had never been to New York. It had always been about seeing it in the movies, through pictures and books. But as I did research on the feel and sense of New Yorkers' life and street styles, I felt compelled to explore various sites about the city.

There is no right way of saying this, but looking at the pictures, reading the travelogues, looking at the guided city tours I could find on the websites, brought me to feeling as though I had been there before, it was a sense of déjà vu. But I guess that's the supposed beauty and charm of New York, to feel foreign but yet familiar; hostile, yet warm.

Beautiful. Isn't it?

 

"It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind"

-from the song "New York state of mind"
