I really do need to say a big thank you for taking me on board and guiding me through the streets of New York. I have started to look at the photos and I am reflecting on the time I spent with you. As I reflect, I realise that what you have to offer is invaluable and goes well beyond simply identifying possible photo opportunities. New York was really my first attempt at Street Photography and you taught me so much. I know I was probably more focused on the buildings than the people but I did take in everything you said and I did learn a lot. I came home much wiser and a much better photographer for what you taught me. In the days after the workshop, I found myself using what you had taught me and more importantly looking at what was in front of me with a completely new perspective. I came home a much better photographer and for that I will always be grateful.

As I think back, I will become increasing appreciative of the time you spent taking me to the boxing club, the bar and the street photographer. This added a completly new dimension to my experience and added much depth to my awareness and experiences of the city. Thinking back, these were invaluable occasions and I find myself talking all the time about them. They have certainly become a focal point of my discussions with people. I love being able to say that I met local artists and saw things a typical tourist may not see. I would love to return some day and have you show me more.

You may be interested to know that The New York Times published an article on Thursday 8th Dec about Advent Calendars. The relevance is that they talk about the most expensive one being one produced by Tiffany which is based on the “Equals Pi” work of Basquiat. I was so pleased that you had introduced him to me and had taken me to see the art at his studio. I do not care about the Advent Calendar at $150,000 but I am so pleased to be able to say I was at the door and I saw the work on the wall. A big thing.

Thank you so much again, for everything. You really did make a difference to my skills, my perspective and my insights to the world of art.

I prearranged a tour with Leanne before I arrived in NY with my two kids. As it snowed heavily throughout the night we arrived I was worried a walking tour might not be the best way to get around. We met Leanne at Columbus Circle on Central Park. It was a really sunny day and the snow was in full melt. After sharing some interesting details about the local denizens and real estate she took us for a walk down 7th Ave. past the  Petrossian building and Carnegie hall. While it was interesting to see and hear about the main attractions, it was her local knowledge which was invaluable as she told us about her favorite spots such as an out of the way deli where we could sit down with locals instead of hanging around a deli full of tourist traffic.


On our walk down 7th. due to the heavy snow and blazing sunshine we encountered several buildings where sparkling rain melt tumbled down in a magical display. Despite the snowfall we were able to get around easily, hopping on a bus to run down to SOHO which was one of my daughters picks for our visit.


Following that, we made our way toward the East Village and once again we came across a building where the fire escape was completely covered in ice and icicles with glittering diamond  rainfall sputtering down. We got some great photos with rainbow fanned sun rays. Truly spectacular.


Along the way we saw some great graffiti and murals and Leanne took us to some memorable spots. We ended the trip at a dumpling restaurant where a plate of 4 was $1.25. Her advise for other stops and neighbourhoods during the rest of our trip went a long way in making our stay a memorable one.
