Last night, I moved from downtown venue from downtown venue over the course of six hours.
With a camera bag on my shoulder. And a camera around my neck.
Ringing in the new year with a camera to my face was a new experience for me, but the music was loud, people were reveling and the spirit in the air was infectious. Here’re a few of my favorite photos from the scenes around downtown York last night:
