There are a lot of people in New York. It seems like every street has thousands of people, all rushing around, trying to get to wherever they're going.
There are also a lot of tourists in New York. Tourists like to take pictures. Hey, no problem there. I'm a tourist too sometimes, and when I am, I like to capture those memories on my camera as well.
But for some reason, here in NY, there is an incessant need for people to take pictures in the most routine places - say, on a busy sidewalk in front of a nondescript building. The problem with this is that when you stop to take a picture of your stupid looking wife from ten feet away, you hold up the whole goddamn flow of foot traffic.
Some people walk right through your dumb picture, which they have every right to do. But that only keeps you trying to get your idiotic picture taken longer. I, on the other hand, always stop and wait for you to complete your mentally retarded picture, because I am a courteous and chivalrous gentleman. But do I get a thank you? Well, sometimes I do, actually.
But that's not the point. If you want to take pictures of New York, go to picture-taking places. Go to the Statue of Liberty, or Central Park, or the Appollo Theater. Don't stand on Lexington Ave outside a busy subway station and pose for five minutes like you've never seen a fucking newstand before.

What is a fucking newstand versus a regular one?
