Aside from this blog, Shoot New York City also has a newsletter which comes out twice a month that you can read at your leisure. I started writing it more than 5 years ago and it provides tips and information about street photography, and of course NYC! You can subscribe here.
Taking time to review photos taken always seems like a long process and one which I have to steal time to do. But once I start it, I find so many photos that I forgot about or don’t even remember taking. This issue is about happy reviewing photos taken.
