Though people try to be creative and not take
"touristy" shots, you really can't help it in
NYC. There are so many landmarks and icons here,
and they are the backbone of the city. I believe you
are short-changing yourself if you come to NY
and try to avoid photographing the icons.

Let's face it, NYC is one of the most photographed cities
in the world, and there's very little you can do that hasn't
been done. Therefore, enjoy being a tourist! :-)

Note: In one shot, you can identify a few icons:
The yellow taxis, the MTA bus, and of course,
the Flatiron.
