Alina Martin - NYC Diary
A diary about life in New York City (and occasional escapes): Family moments, neighborhood discoveries, and the small pockets of tranquility that exist within the bustling metropolis.
My b-roll diary isn't a documentary of tourist crowds and honking cabs. It's a quiet symphony of everyday moments in the heart of Manhattan. Sure, there are glimpses of iconic landmarks - the Empire State Building piercing the clouds, the majestic arch of Washington Square Park - but the heart of my diary lies in the smaller discoveries. I might capture the joy of finding a hidden playground tucked away in a bustling neighborhood, or the pure bliss of sharing a scoop of ice cream in a tiny Italian gelateria.
