Ever since I can remember, I've dreamed of going to the city of New York. When I eventually got the chance I took the opportunity and made the best I could with the short time I had there. I only had five hours to travel to each of the locations I needed to see in the city and I was determined to go to each location. This was my final location in Brooklyn on Washington street, looking towards Midtown Manhattan. It wasn't my initial intention to capture this image, but when the weather started making a turn for the worse, and poured rain, I knew that this might be my only chance for this shot. I sped across the Manhattan Bridge and found the first parking spot I could in Brooklyn. After running several blocks I turned the corner and saw this site. I had seen it many times before in books and magazines, but I was now the one standing in that iconic spot. I set my tripod down and readied my camera as quick as I could while trying to avoid the pouring rain. I was able to snap a few shots before my gear started getting too wet, and I couldn't have asked for a better shot. Although this picture has been taken many times before, I felt like it was my opportunity to capture this scene how I saw it.
