A Moment on the Lips [Contest Finalists June 2011]
Uploaded: June 07, 2011 05:10:14
One of the ubiquitous hot dog carts of New York City, set against a building whose windows were filmed over with a massive decal/advertisement.
(I liked that amongst all the colorful hot dog signs on the cart, there's one that says "New York Hot Dog"!)
The title jumped out at me, from the "dieting" expression, 'A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips'--I think that sums up NY chili-dogs and pretzels!

Thanks so much! And a special thanks to Katarina Mansson for this shot---she visited NYC recently, and that was enough for me to plan a trip up there to meet her & shoot with her. Among the many ideas I gave her for things to do, I'd suggested we visit the High Line Park, and she agreed; this was the scene that greeted us as we left the park! #9562754Katarina Mansson July 29, 2011
Good we went for that salad afterwards heh?! Thanks for excellent guidance in NY to you!Big congratulations on this beauty! #9562937
