Macy's flagship store on 34th Street in New York City was the starting and finishing point of a whirlwind bus trip that included some shopping, but for me, the most dynamic urban photographic carnival I've seen thus far! We jammed a lot of sightseeing into the 12 hours we were there, but one of my favourite photos is this one of some of Macy's stylish mannequins. I loved the way their reflection was visible on a seemingly non-reflective surface: the smooth brown exterior of the massive store, made of a material which I guessed was granite. By this point, everyone was exhausted from the day's excitement and had assembled in front of the store waiting, languishing, for our bus to arrive to bring us back to reality, and to let us succumb to our fatigue. I had finally put my camera back into my bag, finally deciding to call it a night. Then I saw these girls and I was smitten!
