Tracy I love that song, and I love NYC although I have only been once and it was about 8 years ago. I would love to go back someday!
03.04.11 - 10:47am Brittani Wow, I am very jealous!! I have wanted to go to New York all my life!! Aanndd..I have every intention of going this fall!!! And the best part, you ask? (ok, u didn't really ask, but I will share with you anyways =] ) I get my camera in 2 weeks!! I love your photos. Did you take anymore in NY?
03.02.10 - 9:19am Susannah I am totally and utterly obsessed with that song. There's nothing wrong with loving some Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. No shame. That song successfully makes me want to go to NY every time. and your pictures just multiplied that x100. Thanks. Im gonna go book my trip now... :)
02.26.10 - 5:08am Evonne Wong I LOVE Neu Yawk! There is just no place like it... can't wait to see more photos from your trip.
02.25.10 - 8:56pm Brandi Welch My best friend and I had been talking about going to NY for years and finally decided last fall to make it happen. We figured if we were going soon...might as well do it with thousands of other tourist during NEW YEARS! It was amazing!! We fell in love with the buildings, the lighting, the shops on every streets, the people, the subway (which we got separated on!), the NYPD officers (one in particular who let us past the gate at the last minute so we could see the ball drop, oh and the shows!! It was soooo cold though so I mainly got my camera out for the "touristy" pics. Initially I was scared I'd get mugged for my camera and that's the reason I left my 50d at home and just took my digital rebel ;) But we booked another trip in June when it will be warmer...so my 50d is coming along! Glad you finally got the "love" for it!!

02.24.10 - 7:42pm kelly beane I've never been but dream of visiting NYC. Even my 5 yr old who's heard parts of the song wants to go because of it. :)
02.24.10 - 3:28pm annie Robillard Quite a city! I feel the same way about where I am from, Montreal, the vibe is so alive. Love the mag style blog, I feel like I would be reading Vogue or Elle. great!

02.23.10 - 12:07pm Sherina Gallagher Love this post Jasmine*! I was a kid the last time I visited New York City. I remember thinking, "I want to be a New Yorker when I grow up." Although I never became one, I plan to soon go back, and pretend to be one for at least a day. Awesome pictures! 02.23.10 - 8:28am
sadie higs photography Love this! That city gets me everytime. It makes you feel like your in the center of the world and can do anything! Glad you're enjoying it!
02.23.10 - 5:19am hikiko i also ask myself "what is in NY that people make a big deal about?"
because for me TOKYO is the best city ever, everything is "more" than NY, sorry guys!
i love big cities but NY isn't the only one...take a trip to hong kong, shanghai, rio de janeiro,cairo...and you'll see! 02.23.10 - 3:06am
jaana It sounds so silly because I've been to New York ONCE, but I fell so madly, deeply in love that I totally get what you're saying. And my dorky ass can be brought to tears listening to that song!
02.23.10 - 2:34am mag you went all the way to wall street and you didn' t put your head in the bulls butt? ;) glad you made it to NYC but that wasn't for a workshop, was it? b/c if it was i will go down to my basement and never come out! if not, why not? and when will there be one?

02.22.10 - 11:39pm Teresa K It is an amazing city...and so much fun to visit...but once a California girl...you know the rest!
02.22.10 - 10:52pm j gar Great pictures. My friends and I took a road trip there in November and that was our theme song for the journey! 02.22.10 - 10:26pm
Damaris Mia Love that song.. haha. I sooo want to visit New York one day!! I heard the best time to visit is in the spring. One day... Glad you had a great time! Can't wait to see the pictures from the shoot!
02.22.10 - 10:19pm emily I am a native southern Californian but the best way I can explain it is that I have New York in my blood. I announced to my family when I was 3 that I was moving to the big apple. Just a matter of time now! 02.22.10 - 9:47pm
samantha love your passion and drive.
02.22.10 - 9:29pm LEOLAK I agree w/ Janes...no that song would NOT be a hit w/o Ms. Keys! That's my favorite and only reason why I listen to the song!
Thanks for sharing your experience in the NYC J*!! Your stories are always so uplifting! I'm hoping I get to hear you speak on March 8th - got my fingers crossed! 02.22.10 - 9:12pm
Laurie Bracewell I love that song! Makes you want to move there and be part of the big city. And, yes, Miss Alicia Keys helps make that song what it is, for sure!
02.22.10 - 9:05pm jason groupp WHAT?!? You were in NYC and didn't say HI?! Shame! :)
Can't wait to see your pics, I'm glad you finally got it!! Now you're hooked, and it will always bring you back - each time you'll find a new New York you didn't "get" the last time..... that's what the saying I ♥ NY really means. :)
02.22.10 - 8:38pm kim james I lived in Manhattan modeling for elite dancing at studio 54, went back a few times as fashion model agent for networking meetings and I shot a wedding on at 91st and 5th this summer . I finally fell in Love with New York this summer and I got to do it with my husband. We will never forget one of the best days of our marriage (20 years) in central park at the met. I am so happy for you. There is nothing like falling in love with NYC.
02.22.10 - 8:29pm ellie Mohammadi come back, new york already misses you and so do I. Hope you had an amazing time.
02.22.10 - 8:13pm Lydia Definitely a place I want to visit again! This time with a camera that works!
02.22.10 - 8:11pm Liz I grew up in NY and ALWAYS WALKED WITH MY HEAD DOWN. The first time I resisted the natural instinct, I had a day full of celeb sights :-) Years later, I've changed my ways and started seeing the world around me! 02.22.10 - 7:36pm
Lisa H. Chang I LOVE NY! Did since the first time I went to the big city. But then for a country girl like me, there's a lot to impress! :)
02.22.10 - 6:55pm Kristie Jasmine, you are such an inspiration! I started reading your blog almost a year ago and haven't commented till now - crazy! Just wanted to say thanks for being so amazing and for giving me something to look forward to after i conquer my inbox every morning, lol. Bless ya
02.22.10 - 6:54pm levell the only place i'm wanting to go really bad.....
02.22.10 - 6:50pm Kim I live in Northern NJ and I go to NYC all the time and I have yet to see the bull. Love the pictures. 02.22.10 - 6:43pm
kay drenth LOL I have that same photo of my hubby with that bull. I think that is a must for any NYC tourist.
02.22.10 - 5:30pm Valerie I absolutely love New York. I would love to live in the city, I don't care if I don't have a yard. But like many other things in my life, I have a kid and a husband and apparently that means that MY dreams are always on the backseat. Don't have kids Jasmine. And be thankful that you have such a wonderful husband that supports everything that you do. Sorry for the negativity, I'm having a horrible day. I wish I had your heart. 02.22.10 - 5:27pm

02.22.10 - 4:42pm Harmony Loves I love, love, love NYC! It took me awhile too but once you get the hang of it, man, it's a blast. So happy for your new projects, can't wait to see! :)
02.22.10 - 4:35pm Melissa Ahhhhhh NYC......my home town, love it!!! I'm so glad you and JD had such an amazing time while you were here. Nothing has ever surprised me here, everywhere you turn there is something to see. I can never see leaving this great city or going to far from it but then again never say never, right? And Central Park is my most favorite place in the WORLD!!! I have spent days on end in that part with my camera. Please come back soon and maybe do a workshop. You will be welcomed with open arms!!! 02.22.10 - 4:34pm
Catie Ronquillo Word up on Alicia Keys. There's just something amazing about New York. I've been three times. Once right after studying abroad in France, and it just brought me back to a wonderful European vibe...in the US. I need to take my husband on the next trip to NYC. Love NY.
02.22.10 - 4:29pm megmanionsilliker i heart new york. any day any hour any month any minute. all fabulous. still dream of living there. how different my life would be if i had chosen nyc instead of bean town. it's all good.

02.22.10 - 4:12pm jenny looks like so much fun ! I've never been to NYC, hopefully will get a chance to go soon !
02.22.10 - 4:00pm erin. Love this post. I'm from NY so I really don't get thrilled to venture around my own city. I always love to hear/see about other folks' adventures though so I can't wait to see the shoot & everything else from the concrete jungle. 02.22.10 - 3:46pm
Paola LOVE IT!! Loved NYC... Jay-Z's song came out after our trip & hubby and I just about flipped out when we 1st heard it!!

Regina White Lovin NY anytime of the year anytime of the day! I must go back soon. Love the photos.

02.22.10 - 3:02pm James First, that song wouldn't even be a hit without the girl behind the mic Ms. Alicia Keys
Just saying 02.22.10 - 3:00pm
Jessica G I was lucky enough to spend a couple of summers in NYC when I was a teenager. Nothing can compare to that city - I'm glad you were able to feel it!
02.22.10 - 2:52pm Nori Waaaa, you were here??
New York is the bomb!! And I love that 'outsiders' recognize it. It really is the best city in the world =o) I'm so glad you guys enjoyed yourselves. Now, book another trip and hold a workshop. Ya herrrd??
;o)
02.22.10 - 2:42pm JulieLim Haha! What a wonderful post :) I'll be heading to NYC to meet a GREAT photographer up there and my friends and I decided to make it a fun trip. We ALL needed some 'slap in the face' inspiration! So, we're packing and we're heading over there and I am pretty sure we'll be jamming Jay-Z's song :P
02.22.10 - 1:33pm jamie delaine i totally know the "i don't see what all the fuss is about" feeling. i've been twice and i'm still waiting for it to hit me? maybe i need to return 3x. ;)
02.22.10 - 1:32pm Nevada My husband took me to New York, first and only time, about 12 years ago. I fell in love alot...1st night dinner atop the twin towers, stayed at The Plaza, carriage ride and dinner at Tavern on the Green and had s'mores. Fancy dress and husband handsome went to Phantom of the Opera and drinks at Sardi's. It was magical and then it happened! Central Park eating an ice cream and a homeless women attacked me! Wanted to go back to my safe Florida home asap! <3 02.22.10 - 1:32pm
Tara WOW!! I know exactly what you mean!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE New York and am enthralled by the Jay-Z song too, for that very reason. Thanks for sharing!
02.22.10 - 1:32pm britney oh new york (sigh). its simply fabulous when you really get to experience it. can't wait to see pic from your trip!

02.22.10 - 1:30pm Nataschia Wielink I heart NYC. and I heart that Jay-Z song ...oh and I heart your images.
02.22.10 - 1:25pm Kirsten Staggs Bitzer My husband and I went for a few days after our honeymoon (a honeymoon add-on, if you will) and I felt the same way--like, THIS IS IT? I still feel that way, but maybe after my fifth time there, I'll have an epiphany. Maybe.

Yadira Laguerre YESSSSSS! So happy you took a big bite out of the NY apple and got "it". There's no place like it....come more often =)
02.22.10 - 1:23pm Marilyn Sanchez I had the pleasure of living in NYC for years when I was younger. There was always a Song in the Air in that place, not one to hear through ears. You know how when you are little, places seem really big...and then when you grow up, they don't seem that big anymore. Well, New York City never got small for me. It still remains to be the enchanting giant it always was.
02.22.10 - 1:19pm Carolyn Yup, the Jigga man knows what he's talking about!!! Best city on Earth!! 02.22.10 - 1:18pm
Jackie Beale I was born and raised in Queens NYC and this is exactly how I feel everytime I go back and visit my home :)

02.22.10 - 1:11pm Leyla I Love, Love, Love New York, and have to absolutely live there for at least a year in my life time... There is definitely something in the air in NYC, the vibe, the streets, the energy =) I love it all
02.22.10 - 1:11pm nicolenjoli I <3 New York... cant wait to go back, on my first visit- I did get it...It is so different from Cali...in a great way...The energy there is something you have to experience. It was funny that the new yorkers could tell I was from Cali everytime?? One guy said I scream California...I dont know exactly why but It's true, I am a California girl:)
02.22.10 - 1:10pm heaven Once NYC bites.. there is no going back. I adore that city beyond reason. The energy.. creativity...the life there feels unstoppable. Cheers to you finding it this trip!
02.22.10 - 1:10pm Jackie Armstrong you've got to be one of THEE coolest photographers/people/bloggers on these here Interwebs. lol. i love reading what you have to say and HOW you say it. and now that i've seen a clip of you in action, i've GOT to make it to one of your workshops. God bless, and i pray for your continued success! :-)
02.22.10 - 1:10pm Judie Zevack Great shots Jasmine!! I love looking at my home through other people's eyes!! New York never gets boring! You should definitely have a workshop here, you won't regret it!
02.22.10 - 1:10pm Marisol Izaguirre :) This made me smile and want to visit New York.. almost went to school there...
02.22.10 - 1:09pm Lorrie Prothero OMG - great pics, but I sprayed coffee ALL OVER my screen when I saw the shot of JD at the bulls end (what exactly were you implying here?) ha ha
02.22.10 - 1:09pm Dee EEE! I'm loving these pictures! I've always wondered how my city would look through your lens! Sooo cool! :)
02.22.10 - 1:08pm teresa loves it....
02.22.10 - 1:07pm Myrn One day I'll get to go to New York! Awesome post Jasmine!
02.22.10 - 1:07pm Kelli I couldn't imagine living anywhere else! I love it here. I would have loved to have met you, but hopefully I'll see you in Vegas. 02.22.10 - 1:04pm

02.22.10 - 1:04pm Caitlin I feel the same way. I've only been once, but it truly is the greatest. You just feel like with every step you take you're closer to your destiny to be a superstar. I love it.
02.22.10 - 1:03pm joan solitario i don't think i'll ever get tired of visit the Big Apple either :o) Can't wait to see more pictures!!
