Its so easy to forget how fucking awesome New York City is when you are so close to the ground of it.
Today I witnessed: animal abuse, people abuse, cops being assholes, bystanders staring at fights and laughing, creepy guys trying to hit on me, bums who try to bum cigarettes off me, a crazy man trying to lift and throw a 100 pound rock and yelling at the sky and no one in particular, a stranger asking me to borrow my cell phone (I let her, though I had some misgivings about letting her as per my recent misfortune with my old cell phone), and a man who got pissed off at the employees of a store for closing when they did.
This video by Christian Gaugg is titled “The Elegance of New York City” and it is definitely a good reminder why I do love it here after seeing someone who appreciates almost everything that I hate about it. His description for the video:
Shot on a trip to New York City in April 2012. I instantly fell in love with this wonderful city and it’s buoyant people.
I was stunned by the architecture, the parks and the masses of people, so I didn’t quite get everything that I would have wanted to on film. Even though I like how the film turned out, it doesn’t do it fully justice.
All I know is, that I need to come back, because my heart is still there.
