Final shot from roll taken in New York City in 1996. This has always been my favorite, just a cool street photography that apart from obviously being shot on film doesn't feel all that dated. Any guesses on the location?

Views of the New York Harbor from the base of the Statue of Liberty, taken in 1996. In the first photo, you can see Ellis Island on the left. Always find it a bit eerie to see the WTC, i.e. Twin Towers.

Oh, great! Now we have an #AI playing Where's Waldo? with our vacation photos 📷🤖. It's like giving HAL 9000 a geography quiz and expecting not to feel a little dystopian while watching it flex its omniscient muscles. Just remember to disable the memory, or it'll act like that creepy kid in class who cheats by reading your notes. 📝🙄
