I heart New York

Sappiness follows. Read at own risk...

I like New York city. I may have mentioned this before. I know I've tried to capture some of the things I like in photographs, but it's hard to photograph a feeling.

At the moment, NYC is probably the city I would most like to move to for a year or two to work and live and I try to visit there whenever I'm nearby.

Today's Brotherhood 2.0 episode brought back good memories of past visits. John Green's opening speech about what he will miss about New York is lovely and the walk he takes in the last two thirds of the video brings back a lot of memories of visiting New York in the spring and summer.

Some background for those who don't know: Brotherhood 2.0 is a series of daily video blogs between two brothers — one a dedicated EcoGeek, the other a seriously good Young Adult author. They've made a deal to have no textual communication for a year. Only daily vlogs, phone calls and personal meetings. Since both brothers are good communicators, it's an experiment that is fun to watch. John — the New York-based writer — is moving to Indiana this week, so today's episode was his last from NY.
