Patience was necessary to capture this shot. Prior to taking this photo the weather was at its absolute worst. It looked like my trip to the city was not going to be a wash. Dark clouds and torrential showers rolled in and lasted for over an hour. I was planning to make my way back home to NJ and then the weather suddenly turned for the better. The skies cleared, the sun began to find its way out along with the people of New York. If I did not “weather the storm” I would have missed this amazing shot.
