For Real Toads: Daryl's photos

I have long been a fan of Daryl Edelstein's photos of New York. I think one of the things I like most is her sense of perspective. She can give any old thing a new angle: making it shine, making it jump, making it sing.
Fireblossom has offered us not one, not two or three, but fifteen of Daryl's photos and asked us to choose one as inspiration in today's Weekend Photo Challenge at the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.
Choosing just one of Daryl's photos is the most difficult part of the challenge, so I've chosen two.

the heat from the sun
and the warmth
of the colors,
the charm of the shapes
and the smiles
of the people,
the traffic,
the bustle,
the city,
alive.

the photographer sees it
where others are blind.
from her eye
to her lens
to the
digital pixels,
recording,
rewording,
renewing
it all.

Do check out Daryl's photos, either on her own blog or on Real Toads. Both links are here and both will give you a new appreciation for Daryl's New York City.
