Weekly Photo Challenge: In the Background

No Standing in New York

The Weekly Photo Challenge by Pick from the Daily Post is: In the Background! As I looked through so many really awesome blogs with this theme I remembered one of my favorite New York shots that my friend took of me.  I usually hate my photo being taken (hence my desire to take photos of everyone else).  I always seem to have some snarky look on my face, food in my mouth or my eyes closed.  What I like about this photo is there is so much action going on in the background that you really hardly notice me. (Or that my eyes are closed!! OR that I look like I am about to throw up!!)

The second I chose because 1. I Love New York (refer to several past posts for confirmation of this fact). 2. There are always so many things going on in the background of nearly every picture I take in New York. (and finally) 3. I saw this quote and immediately thought of so many photos I took while in New York and the massive crowds of people that are in any one place at any one time.

 Peyton: At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes — all you need is one. – One Tree Hill
