I came to New York with $500 and I had to live on that, but thankfully I was taken up by photographers quickly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I lived in New York my whole life. Like every New Yorker, I have stories about spending summers on the Jersey shore, riding the roller coaster in Seaside that is now famous for that sickening photo of it being washed out to sea.
I stayed in New York City for the first time, I'd always wanted to do that.
The thing I remember about New York was how little I felt. I arrived with one small bag and $15.
Living in New York for 10 months was incredible; it was everything I thought it was going to be and more.
I live in New York and travel all over the world on a regular basis.
I went to grad school in San Francisco, and then left for New York City with my eye on Broadway. I had saved $5000, which seemed like a lot of money in my mind... until I realized it was going to take $2500 to get to New York and then the first and last month's rent.
I've been living, I've lived in New York since I was 18 years old and traveled pretty much all over the world.
When I arrived in New York, I was homeless with 400 bucks in my pocket.
I didn't actually begin photographing, or even visit New York, for the first time until I was 26.
I moved to New York City in '92 and had no money. I had a lot of free time, as actors do. I would go to the New York Public Library at Lincoln Center.
