This week, I went into New York City on a field trip along The High Line with professional photographer Frank Veronsky, who hosted the field trip for Princeton Photo Workshop. There were many familiar faces from previous New Jersey photo walks and field trips, including my friend Jack Batty. Frank's wife Jennifer Pierce accompanied the group.

The High Line is a park built on the abandoned rail lines that run from Hudson Yards out to 30th Street. There are trees and shrubs planted along the rail line with observation decks to view the streets below. I had a good view of buildings, restaurant courtyards, and rooftop apartments. On my first visit to The High Line I didn't know what to expect. My photographs from that visit tended to focus on photographing the park and the surrounding building. This was my second visit, and I knew a little more about what to expect and I think I focused more on people.

If this is street photography, then unless I am mistaken, this would be my first time doing it. I have, for the most part, kept to capturing landscapes and architecture. The High Line was filled with families and friends, walking, hanging out, shopping, and dining.
