Grand Central is a vision of beauty. When you walk in the first place you find yourself looking is the ceiling. It's truly a beautiful vision. From 2004 to about 2006 I was at Grand Central 3 times a week. I would walk the same route to the subway from the Metro North train. I did this for two years. Grand central is a very large place. If you are not careful you could get lost quick. One particular day I decided to travel a different route. I came across a man laying on the ground resting. People walked by as if no one was there. I wasn't surprised because NYC is one place where you could be laying on the ground bleeding and people will just walk by like there is nothing wrong. Maybe they are to caught up in their own lives to care. It could be their cell phones, computers, or their ipods keeping them to busy. It was so interesting that I had to shoot it. The people walking by began to take notice as I started to shoot. That was odd considering that 10 minutes before no one cared. It amazing what gets peoples attention. After I took a couple of shots of this man I ask him if he needed water, food, or a couple of dollars. He replied no and I went on my way. The next day I took another route and every since then I always take a different route.

Thank you for that comment anonymous. I love when you come on my blog and leave really uplifting comments. Without you I wouldn't be feeling any love. That fact that you leave a comment is enough for me. You hate my photos so much that you wish you could shoot half as good. LOL
