Dear New York,

Those are some stunning photos - really working with the theme. I do love the black and white one - really shows the contrast between old and new New York. Looks great in black and white to!

So last week, I went and had a bit of an explore of some of the hidden history of London, by walking and visiting 3 different (slightly morbid) places - each with their own stories, myths and history (so prepare for a bit of a photo dump!).

This week has been filled with classic Summer specific NYC experiences, so not on the cards for you and Marcelina when you visit in October but no worries, New York has plenty to offer in the Fall (including comfortable weather). It was Labor Day weekend, a holiday, from what I can gather, to celebrate the working masses... by having a day off work. Apparently, most New Yorkers leave the city, but Ed and I remained, in order to experience it for the first time.

Thank you for the link to Josh Katz - learning resources are always very welcome, especially if they help getting the ol’ brain juices flowing!

In kind, something I have watched a lot of, and I thought might be of interest (especially after your comment about the importance of having a plan, and it sucking when the equipment isn’t right for the job) is this series called “Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera”.

With each new week comes another step (or two) towards New Yorker status. My work permit is finally being processed (although it will take 2-3 months), Ted has an appointment for his NYC ID card (free stuff!), and we've finally got some furniture in our apartment. We are doing the whole 'adult' thing very well, in fact, so well that, having finished finding the main furnishings for our apartment, for the first weekend in a long time we haven't made our ferry-based pilgrimage to IKEA, and we feel that it might be missing us.

Dear New York,

SO after a brief hiatus, we are back, stronger and raring to go. As you mentioned, it has certainly been a busy few weeks while we have been away! I have gone on a hike to follow the footsteps of Emperor Hadrian and his famous Wall, my girlfriend has moved away from London, and you are now Mrs New York!
