People are rushing to catch their Metro North trains. A policeman told us to stop taking pictures in the station. It is against security laws.

Grand Central Station Holiday Shoot

The photography girls went of to Grand Central Station to photograph the holiday light show. This monumental railway station was constructed in 1903-1913 for the New York and Harlem Railroad Company. It is a grand Beaux-Arts building which serves as a transportation hub connecting train, metro, car and pedestrian traffic in an efficient way. It has 67 train tracks on two different levels and is incredibly BUSY!

We hope you liked the photos from our neighborhood street shoot. When it became dark we used the night time flash settings on our cameras. You can see the differences in your neighborhood in Mexico and ours in the Lower Eastside.

We have very tall buildings and busy streets. We also have big trucks and big stores. Your cemeteries are bright and colorful, but ours are dark and gloomy. We also have yellow taxis, and cats and dogs being walked by their owners. We have parking meters and if you don’t pay them you will get a ticket and have to pay more money.

We took pictures of things like pets and buildings and other things like cats and dogs and phones and DO NOT ENTER signs. So I hope you like the pictures that I took. Do you have things like turtles and other things? We have school crossing signs. I would like you to come to New York City. Is it cold there? I would like to go to Mexico. I hope you enjoy the pictures. This is a picture of me.

New York Street Shoot Luna

One thing that a lot of people say about New York is that there are a lot of taxis. In the picture I took, you see a lot of taxis getting gas before they go home for the night. I also took a picture of some of the buildings in our neighborhood. There is a lot of construction going on and there are advertisements everywhere. That corner is dangerous because cars come from every direction. There is a picture of a bunch of cars parked along the sidewalk. In the background you can see another building that is being built. They use huge machines to build them. I personally think there are way too many buildings already. I took a picture of one of our cemeteries for you to see. In New York City there are cemeteries in the outer boroughs and not many in Manhattan. This is a small one that is very lonely looking. No bright colors like you have in your cemeteries.
