I love New York in the rain

Basically it is raining in New York since last Saturday. There might be a couple of hours in between where the sky is just gray but I'd say for the most time of the day it's pouring down.
But let me tell you... I enjoy this weather at the moment. There wasn't really much rain in the last couple of months and a rainy New York has it's beautiful sides as well. I enjoy the somehow low temperature, I even went to buy a sweater and I even wear it. I went for a long walk in the rain this evening and I didn't really care about getting wet. It had something peaceful.

On the other hand side I have to say that I am thinking about whether I am a "good weather photographer" or not. Honestly I have to say that those gray days are not really alluring for taking photographs. At least for me. I miss the light, the contrasts and the colors. So I guess I am a so called "good weather photographer". At least right now. But I do also have quite a lot of work to do. I am working on a new concept for my time after New York, I am working on a couple of interviews with photographers and (important) I am starting to get in touch with different people from newspapers and magazines in Austria. That goes very slowly, I have to follow up on e-mails, have to write new ones, have to call again but don't get any concrete answers. Well that's just the way it is I guess. Hope that will be at least a little easier as soon as I have the possibility to meet in person.
