Man today was intense. I was carrying huge bags all over Manhattan running a bunch of errands for Hannah. She's very nice and tomorrow I get to sleep in but in the afternoon I'm going to her office to print off contact sheets for like 8 hours. It's a lot of work so far especially being here along and figuring out everything on my own. My Ipod finally packed in today so I went down to the apple store and picked up a new one. They're getting pretty cheap it's amazing how you can get a 4gb ipod for under 150 dollars. I haven't really been shooting much recently but I try to take one picture a day at least which is good enough to put on this blog. Nothing special but at least something that allows you guys to see what I get to see. I'm just so worn out and it feels like I don't have enough time to do everything. I met a few interesting people today. A girl came up to me and asked what sort of camera I had and we got to talking. Turns out she has a friend who is also a photographer who lives about 5 houses down from where i'm staying. We went there and talked to her friend and we're all gonna go out shooting hopefully this weekend. We exchanged contact info so it's gonna be awesome I hope. I'm really super excited that I've been able to make some new contacts and hopefully be able to shoot with them. I feel like I've bought all my necessities and it should be relatively smooth sailing from here. Gonna check out some art shows this weekend too I hope and explore manhatten. Anyway... today was cool and my feet hurt a lot from all the walking but it's certainly an adventure and I can't complain about a lack of stuff to do. There are tons and tons of little shops and food places to explore. I would love to come here with a few other people just for fun sometime cause I think it would be great having more time to run around seeing all the interesting stuff here. I'll keep you guys posted on everything else. The 2 british guys staying in the hostel in my room are leaving tomorrow so i'ma go have a few brew with them.
Love to all
Dan

The pics are great Dan even if you do not think they are your best. As you say, it gives us poor sods stuck in the Halifax fog and rain something interesting to look at!
Hey! Watch those sore feet....perhaps you need a new pair of sneakers?
Good luck with all the hard work tomorrow ... nm
I'm glad you survived the first day of your work term. It'll only get easier from here.
Sometime I'll go down to NYC with ya and a few other folks, we'll make a trip outta it.
Good night!!!
It's a lot of work, but think of how good it will feel at the end of the month! We'll know so much! :)
