Day 1 - Afternoon

Times Square

Booklets showing the photographs displayed at the International Center of Photography 

Finding ourselves in the middle of Times Square after the Ann Inc visit we decided to explore the area.

First stop; having a look at the advertisements and lights in Times Square. This was a completely surreal experience as I have seen images of this location in films and pictures for as long as I can remember.

Then we went off to the International Center of Photography to see the Harper’s Bazaar “A Decade Of Style” exhibition.  It was amazing to see the work of so many brilliant photographers and the magazines editorial content over the years. I managed to sneakily photograph some of my favorite pictures.  

Grand Central Station
A quick stop at Grand Central Station, the early 20th century architecture was truly breath taking
The above two images are photographs of the leaflets I picked up at the exhibitions

We walked a few blocks and reached the Fashion Institute of Technology Museum (FIT). This was one of my favourite parts of the NY trip. First we saw the “Fashion, A-Z: Highlights from the Collection of the Museum at FIT, Part One” and then the Daphne Guinness exhibitions, where  Guinness’s couture looks and shoes. were displayed.

To finish off a very busy first day we headed to the Hard Rock Café in Times Square and had a well deserved meal.
