New York: Union Square
Inspiration: I find that a huge number of New Yorkers don't just walk. They march. And at speeds that rival sound and light. After I motioned to her that I wanted to take her photo, she nodded and gave me .0005 seconds to get the shot before she marched down the steps of the subway. I snapped only this photo but just barely. Phew.

I tend to agree with the first commenter. There is something very military about her walk.

I agree as well, right down to her facial expression!

Oh my goodness, you're right! I don't even dawdle on the weekends! I must remember to slow down to smell the roses (heh).
This is a great shot of a strong woman. Gotta love that!

Haha. It's so true. New York, New York.
And how apt: you posted this in the month of March!

That look in her eyes says it all! Your photos make me miss NYC since I was a NYer for nearly 15 years!

Fierce. The march is the same in Paris. Los Angeles though is very laid back.
