While strolling between villages in Manhattan (West Village into Greenwich Village), bar hopping, I chose to take a quieter, less scenic route between busy avenues and arrived at this gem of an intersection:
Minetta Triangle, Manhattan, NYC
I was taken with the simplistic beauty (reoccurring theme of mine) of this environment. Although it's in the midst of a very popular party and entertainment district, it manages to retain it's quiet charm. Additionally, the melodramatic artificial glow on the block personified the after midnight diminishing ambience of the moment. I was reminded of the heavy footsteps upon concrete echoing back in the night that I experienced in an equally as charming southern setting in the city of Charleston, South Carolina some years back.
This environment has inspired me to finally decide upon a setting for a short film drama that I've already written which is in need of a location. I look forward to re-imagining inspiration on this side street.
