Cracking photos. How do you keep a moving car in the foreground and the buildings in the background in focus? Not exactly point and click stuff I imagine?

Just force-fired the flash and held the camera steady.

In case you need to wash your skids at 5am- there's a place in Brooklyn for you!

Near Albert levels of graffiti in this Lower East Side view of a bar toilet

I'm sure many of the toilets are like that but I remember going into the Charleston pub loo in Williamsburg and being amazed by the graffiti in there. I did feel uneasy about taking out my camera to shoot some photos but I wished I had done now.

Vast chunks of Williamsburg are totally unrecognisable from a decade ago. The riverfront has been uber-gentrifed.

Bushwick.

Beyond edgy! Too much vibrancy, if anything!

America. Where the trains look like submarines.

[Mr Retro]

We're going again in October this year. Once again we will be using some of your photos and tips to enjoy our trip.

Looking for a hotel now. We stayed in The Ace Hotel last year and it was really good and great location too. Might stay over by The Highline this time around
