New York, New Joe2004--0-7-T13: 1:6:-08:00I surprise even myself with my keen eye. I do hope, however, to take more interesting pictures. The sights are fine and all, but I can be more edgy. Yes.

And by this point, after the hour long walk to get there, I had finally honed my photography skills...and then the camera died. But notice the few people that noticed they were in a photo...forever. Online. Ina photo-blog. For everyone to see. If they so chose. All in all, i find this particular picture creepy.

It's all clean and shiny...packed, but cleanliness in a grocery store is a rare find in the Big Apple. The Whole Foods takes up the basement while stores like Boss Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, and others make up the main level; there's a JCrew, Sisley, and a Borders on the Second floor whereas the third floor houses five-star restaurants.
