New York city,Wow! Where do I actually start documenting this fascinating city?It's just that there is so much here.Whatever your photography interests are,profile pictures in New York city can deliver.At first I didn't know how and where to start my photography in this vast place.This overwhelming feeling made me tour almost every cool place in New York within a month.I still didn't achieve identifying the best shots.They were all freaking awesome!Anyway,after six months I had explored the city deep enough and created a list from the top,grouping the places according to possible interests one may have.I didn't stop there,I also grouped the different feelings the places give out at different times of the day.Yeah,I was that thorough.Long story short,I am giving you a list of the top five places that will blow your mind.Let's get started.
