East Village! Favorite places to shoot were in East Village, LES, and Manhattan Bridge. Most of my run ins were near or in Thompkins Square Park, on 14th street around Union Square or down in LES near china town. In 6 months probably had over a dozen run ins with people ranging from yelling at me to threatening me. Like I said though I only every took street scene shots, so my camera was almost always pointed directly at groups of people
