Photo Bomb: New York pt 2 - Central Park and Empire State


Continuing from the last post, here are yet more photos from my New York trip - Central Park and the Empire State Building. This is very pic heavy so it's behind a cut, and again I'm afraid these were all taken using my (slightly smashed) mobile, mostly the pictures came out great but some of the zoomed in ones aren't as fancy. I hope you can enjoy them anyway.

Photo Bomb: New York Pt 1 - City Sights


So, back in May I was allowed to attend the BCC Conference in Stanford, Connecticut as part of my PhD. I did a presentation there which went okay but I’m sure was terribly dull. Anyway, as my mother actually works in the Fire Industry and was also attending BCC we decided that after the three day conference we would spend a couple of days in New York. Especially as I cut short a weekend at a convention that I paid a lot of my own money for (not bitter about missing my Jason Momoa photo op to head to the airport at ALL… *grumble*, it’s my own fault but I like to blame Steven Amell and PhD work for it anyway. One day I’ll tell you all that story maybe.)

Anyway, these are the photos I took in New York. I don’t think I’d ever go back, Central Park was amazing but in general there were far too many people and too much concrete and dear god the prices. But it was a great place to visit and see the touristy things. So that was fun.
