Riding the Daddy Cab in NYC

Oh my goodness, I came home with LOTS of photos. Sick amounts. I really captured my time in the city on the day of the meet up. I was there from around 10:30 in the morning until about 9:30 at night and shot almost 500 photos in that time.

I joked with Michael before the trip that I was done with cuteness, I needed a break! It was time for grit, grunge and concrete. And what was I drawn to in the city?? Cute, sweet candids. I was so loving street photography. This was my favorite photo from our walk. I took this while we waited for the last of our group who was lost somewhere in a cab.

I had an absolutely amazing time. Met some incredible people and photographers. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me that couldn't have been better.

More photos to come...please forgive my mass uploads. I've got so many shots to share and took 4 days off posting. Hope I captured the flavor of the city and the awesome time I had there.

Here is the b&w version. I had such a hard time deciding: http://365project.org/amandal/themes-challeng/2013-06-21
Low cost cab and great vantage point. Love that capture and the title.

Great capture - great personality in this shot, it tells a story. Like the pronounce contrast of colors against whiteness of background - really makes subjects standout. Ordinary event made extraordinary. FAV

June 26th, 2013  
J'adore. Fav.

@edie Kicking myself for not posting b&w. What do you think? And thank you so much. I could not stop shooting adorable children. Think I missed mine?! I actually didn't much. I had such a blast and LOVED the much needed break!

This is a lovely candid of this good looking guy and the daughter who is saying....."What the heck"!

@maggiemae Doesn't he look like Patrick Demsey, the actor?
June 26th, 2013  
This one in black and white? I'd love to see it. Post it too...because you aren't too overwhelmed with shots as it is.
June 26th, 2013  
Beautiful candid capture. Looks beautiful in color and in B&W.
June 26th, 2013  
such a sweet lovely candid :)
June 26th, 2013  
i love them both.
June 26th, 2013  
Rob
Both are great shots!
June 26th, 2013  
I am going with the b&w as my preferred version, mainly because it downplays the blue and striped shirts behind. Great job on both though!
June 26th, 2013  
Beautiful shot but I do prefer the B&W xx
June 26th, 2013  
I can't choose between the colour and the b&w. I like them both. I love her expression.
June 26th, 2013  
very nice photo
June 26th, 2013  
What a beautiful captu and definitely for the family album. Lovely
June 26th, 2013  
Gorgeous capture! You obviously missed your own cherubs, hence were drawn to the cuteness!
June 26th, 2013  
A sweet shot! I'm glad you had such a great time!!
June 26th, 2013  
Favulous Favulous! Love this great moment of Dad and daughter. And love the color in her shoes and hat...and, and ....FAV!!!
June 26th, 2013  
Excellent candid. Was so great to meet you, Debbie and the rest of our new group of friends. I enjoyed the social aspect of the "tour" more than anything else.
June 26th, 2013  
I vote color! Awesome capture! If you are a Grey's fan, he looks a little like McDreamy, so a sub title could be McCutie and McDreamy. :)
I love your story too such fun to hear your impressions and see the pictures also.
June 26th, 2013  
I saw the b&w first and liked it but more am voting for color! Love how the colors pop on that white background.
June 26th, 2013  
@nana2r He is so dreamy. I can see the reference. Thanks, lady!!
June 26th, 2013  
A wonderful candid sreet shot Amanda. Can't decide which of the two I think is cutest ;-) super shot! Glad you had a brilliant time.
June 26th, 2013  
he does looks a bit like Patrick Dempsey! and she's so adorable, very lovely shot!
June 26th, 2013  
I like this one because it feels like selective color to me, Love the pink hat & shoes
June 26th, 2013  
Meg
awww what a great, sweet capture of that baby.....love her hat with the big flower!
June 27th, 2013

June 27th, 2013

Thank you all for your wonderful comment on this candid of a cutie and her dreamy daddy:). I think that I should have gone with b&w in my main album, though there was a split decision on it. I did love the color of her hat and shoes, though. So fun to come upon such cuteness in the city. Finally getting caught up with my life and photos:)!
June 27th, 2013  
@amandal I think you made the right choice with color. It is more dramatic and in this particular case more personal - not something I would normally say about B&W vs color but in this case color wins out.
June 27th, 2013  
Lovely portrait!
June 27th, 2013  
Cute indeed!
I'm leaning toward the B&W simply because of the distraction in the background. The color version would win for me if it was just the main subjects against the building.
Can't beat her colorful shoes, though. :-)
June 28th, 2013  
I like the color! They're both great though. Candids are just about my fav thing, and this one is fabulous. She is SO cute, and that flower is so big. Fav!
June 28th, 2013  
@m9f9l You are sweet. I LOVED shooting candids in the city. The best part of my time. Did you see my boy from yesterday? I think it was my favorite photo from the whole trip. Thanks for the fav, friend!
June 28th, 2013  
@dragutza @pasadenarose Thanks so very much, ladies!!
June 28th, 2013  
Sweet capture
July 2nd, 2013  
Great focus and a sweet composition - the strength of the trust and protection aspects of the relationship are captured so beautifully.
July 2nd, 2013  
@wenbow @kittikat Thank you, ladies. I just love my daddy so this one is pretty precious to me!
July 2nd, 2013  
So very sweet. I prefer the color over the B&W. In the B&W I find my self focusing on the architecture behind them.
