New York Fairytale


Where do I start in a city where there is no beginning and no end, in a place where the senses are so extremely sharpened that every sound and colour seem thousands of times enhanced. Yes it almost seems that my fairytale and reality mix in this city that never rests, that always searches for something new, for another extreme and passion. Yes, New York is for me a place where I can risk artisticaly more than I am allowed, love artisticaly more than possible, live and create to the absolute fullest . Diving in an atmosphere where all worlds seem to blend into one is where a photographer can make magic.


This is how our mornings started, on the streets with a cup of coffee, mixing with the life of the waking city. Rob seemed as passionate and happy on the streets of New York as me. The early morning light could make every building talk, every shape to come alive.
So many times I am catching myself looking up and admiring the structures of this magnificent buildings. The Chrysler Building my absolute favourite.

One thing that always amazes me in New York is the fact how easy is for me to capture moments, they seem to be everywhere, so many that I cannot put the camera down. A feast of light and shadow, people and structures, emotions and stories. I have always thought that when you can tell a story with your images you have won, just for a fracture of a second than you will have to start all over again, until you become the best storyteller in the world.

We walked everywhere, saw as much as possible, enjoyed the vibrancy of this beautiful place. Two of my favourite experiences were visiting the Metropolitan Museum ( no I didn't stop taking photos there either) and seeing Turandot in the Metropolitan Opera.
and seeing this in Central Park. on a small bench it was written : " For Caroline who loved this park and George who was always with her". How can one sentence say all that is important in life? It makes me smile because yes, it is that simple.
I hope my story put a smile on your face! Yours truly Ema
