I have been photographing New York City during snowstorms at night for the past 5 years. When it comes to experiencing <a href="http://nythroughthelens.com/tagged/snow" rel="nofollow">New York City in the snow</a>, I relish the challenge. The more gusty, snowy, and brutal the storm, the more of a chance that I will be out in it traipsing around New York City with my cameras in tow.
When I heard that the MTA was suspending all transit service (and most vehicles) at 11 pm, I made the decision to take the train up to the Upper East Side prior to 11 pm to deposit myself up there with the intention of walking from the Upper East Side to Times Square and then walking the several miles back to the Lower East Side (whew!!).
The streets were eerily empty.
Emptier than they are usually at night during snowfall. Since there was a ban on all vehicles aside from snow plows and emergency services, there were practically no cars at all on the streets. Even taxis were banned from the streets!
I walked in the middle of avenues and streets that are usually teeming with cars.
There was an eerie sense of calm.
It was magical.
