New York, May 2007 - Copyright © Yolène Dabreteau
I took this photo five years ago. I was then on holidays in New York City and decided to go for a walk on my own towards Brooklyn. Going to Brooklyn via the Brooklyn Bridge is a much nicer idea than going with the subway. Once on the other side, there is a lovely walk with benches and you can just sit there and look at Manhattan's skyscrapers.
However, I decided it was not enough and that I should venture more in Brooklyn. I visited Park Slope and really wanted to make my way to Coney Island. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that my map stopped at Brooklyn Heights, and got lost. I then had to eventually take the subway to find my way. That was stupid of me, always have a map in very big cities...
I shot this photo on my way towards Brooklyn. It was early morning, and there were just a few people having relaxing walks. I chose black and white as I think it stops that moment in time for me.
