MANHATTAN BRIDGE

When I woke up this morning the sky was super clear. After dropping my daughter to school I skated to the Manhattan Bridge to take some flicks for a Zoo York tee shirt. Once I arrived there, I got every possible weather. In 30 minutes on the bridge, I got fog,grey sky,sun and snow to wrap it up…Crazy! Total fiasco for my daily job but good “grime New York” flicks for my personal work. I love this city!

yo that would really be too bad if you let these toys shine on a zoo york t shirt.
Maybe you should flick an old j-line rooftop…manhattan bridge is beat right now.

I would like to ask your permission to use one of your photos for a art contest.
I thought it would be best to ask rather than take it because Im afraid of being hit with copyright and legality issues.

It would be great if you cold get back to me as soon as possible.
