On my second day in New York, after an early morning walk across the Brooklyn Bridge with my dad (something he’d never done despite growing up in and around New York), I met my friend Corey in Chinatown for an afternoon of cameras and pavement pounding and catching up.
A friend from Seoul, Corey is a recent transplant to Manhattan, so it was a pleasure to see the city through his relatively fresh new lens. I loaded the Nikon with a roll of Fuji Reala I had picked up in Okinawa, and we hit the streets for 50-something blocks of smack-talking and snapping.
And taking a cue from Mr. Ferry, I’d like to encourage those of you who read along in the shadows to say hello. You might even win free stuff! Here, I’ll help. What is the city/country you’d most like to visit one day? I’m curious to know.
Thank you so much for continuing to visit Little Miss Twig! You make each new place I go that much more interesting.
I am a writer, photographer and jack of all everything living in Seoul, South Korea.

Stephanie, those blue buildings are gorgeous! Can I just come out and ask for a print? Are you selling them?
For your question, I always wanted to visit Buenos Aires, and I did just this month. I didn’t fall in love, like I expected to, and I think I want to go back to check it out again… maybe that means it’s gotten under my skin.
Second love on the blue buildings.
I’m totally here to win free stuff. :) Just kidding! I am always here! :)
I want to go to New Zealand. I had a v. good friend in junior high who was an exchange student from NZ and I have a good friend now who is a Kiwi who was living in London for years and years and has suddenly moved home. When I went to Australia a few years ago we originally thought maybe we’d hit NZ too…but we didn’t and I have regretted it ever since!
could eat all your new york photos up with a spoon. really, I could.
i am completely in love with your nyc shots. please come back so we can go on a photo walk together, okay?
i have too many places that i want to go to narrow it down to just one. but my current top three are: paris, san francisco & thailand. (and i seriously cannot believe that i’ve never been to SF. craziness!)
I’m in NYC in two weeks! Too bad our visits couldn’t have corresponded.
I’m there on my honeymoon, with my new bride, also named Stephanie.
(really.)
…”corresponded”. Not sure if that’s the word I wanted to use. “Connected”, perhaps.
As always, I blame iPhone spellcheck…
What you ate: cumin-lamb hand pulled noodles. You can check out my review of Xi’an Famous Foods on my work site. The photos are less than ideal thanks to my iPhone. I recommend that everyone in NYC check it out.

hello miss twig- i have been reading your blog for a very, very long time now. i’m a canadian who once lived in seoul and taught english and i love seeing the city again through your lens.
I’ll come out of the shadows to say ‘hi!’. I love to follow your travels, and someday I’d love to see your Japan through my eyes!
Hi S.
Long time follower, first time commenter (I think?). But we go way back on Flickr!

Hi, I’m a lurker. I love to travel and I love to travel vicariously through your lenses. I’m going back to New York in October and was hoping to do some wandering around Chinatown. Now I feel I definitely need to.

Rockport! And how about today? (See you soon. xo.)
these photos make me ache. i am missing new york so bad right now.

Hello Miss. Twig,
I have been a follower for quite sometime. Coming to your blog and viewing your photos is a daily treat.
I would love to go to Turkey. I am baking quite a bit of bread now and I know Turkey is as obsessed with bread as I am. All sorts of bread. Mmmm…
Hi, I am a lurker too! Your words and your photos are amazing, they truly are. Regarding places, I would say Morocco, Mongolia, Mali, Iceland and Norway…but I am going to NY in October and I cannot wait!!!
Reykjavik, Iceland! I really, really wanna go! xo
Oh, look at all those lurkers coming out of the woodwork. Lovely to meet you all!
well steph dear, i can’t wait to visit you in japan, but i want to visit as much of the world as i can manage.
city i most want to visit? kyoto. i think. there are so many. the second is stockholm in the summertime.
(also: your NYC shots! they make me see NYC differently. great stuff.)
sounds like a wonderful day! i’m glad you to were able to catch up. i will probably do the same when i’m in nyc. can’t wait.
I’m not exactly in the shadows but I don’t comment too often. I love your photography. As for the country I would most like to visit, Australia!
