I am very aware of the fact that streetphotography in New York City
is an all too well trodden path.
It is almost impossible to avoid clichés or even add something to it.
So almost every picture of New York City has to be a failure from the start;
a cliché, a bore, a secondhand emotion, a gotspe.

So here I was again, in this city that I know so well.
An official senior now, not on an assignment and without appointments:
just walking around like a gentlemen of leisure; a visitor.

So I photographed to amuse myself.
And to have a party.
