West Side Highway after a summer rain
I'm a hacker-journalist, currently Head of Data at Skift and formerly at ProPublica. And this is my random New York photoblog. All photos unless otherwise specified are to be credited to: Dan Nguyen Check out my Flickr, my personal blog, or my books on how to program and take photos.
Ask me anythingFor more than 3 years, I’ve been a regular customer at @ThinkCoffeeNYC . I was always confused why so many Asian tourists (busloads) would come by to obsessively photograph the place as if it were Strawberry Fields or Times Square.

Another photo along Manhattan’s west side after the rain. I saw this guy with the red umbrella and his family from about two blocks away and waited for him to walk in front of me. I wish I had taken a closer picture with tighter framing of him and his umbrella, especially since he and his family asked me to take photos of them with their own cameras.

West Village: Another (unused) product shot for proof shorts (proofny.com). We needed a bike shot to illustrate how the shorts work well in more active situations so we just borrowed a bike and found one of the nice brick streets on the west side.
