Fast facts: I am a New York City mega-enthusiast, passionate photog and consummate optimist. I love to roam NYC with my camera, open to serendipity. This is the focus of “Inga’s Angle.” These photos are taken on my journeys throughout this wonderful city. (Photo copyright: Inga Sarda-Sorensen 2010-2011, all rights reserved.)
Hello Inga, browsing through your site I found a lovely image of NYC/central park. As a photographer and artist, I would like to use this image as part of a non-commercial project. Would it be possible to obtain a hi-res file of this amazing image you have taken? Here is a link to the picture I’m referring to:

If you’re open to the idea I’ll be more than happy to share the concept with you.
Many thanks,
Sameer
Hi Sameer,
Thanks for the note and interest in the pic. Can you tell me a little bit more about your idea?
Thanks again.
Inga
Dear Inga, greetings from England. Just a quick note to say how much I love your photographs! My daughter has visited New York twice and it has been a life long ambition of mine to visit the big apple. My favourite building is the Chrysler Building (I have two glass panels in my kitchen door of this wonderful monument). Sometimes you just have to take the time to let someone know that they are making a difference in your life.
Kind regards
Michelle

Warm regards to you & yours.

Keep posting!

Hi Luis! Thank you for the kind remarks! They are much appreciated, and I’m glad you enjoy the pics! Inga
Like the Queens Pics colors! They pop!
Just found your site and really enjoy your photos. I got to visit NYC for the first time several years ago and stayed at a hotel on E. 53rd Street. While there I kept noticing the gorgeous gothic tower at 575 Lexington Avenue (which is also the building’s name). Any chance you might be able to get a shot of this building sometime?
Thank you, Karl! Glad you enjoy the pics!
Oooops!! Make that 570 Lexington Avenue! Sorry.
Hello, Inga! I’m in love with NYC, too! I lived there in the 80s and have missed it ever since. I just followed you on twitter and I both retweeted and linked (on my blog) to the beautiful photo of Central Park at twilight posted yesterday. This photo is haunting me. I love it so much. Would you consider selling it? I feel the need to frame it, hang it in my home in Atlanta and gaze upon it when I’m homesick for my city. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work with all of us! Warmest regards, Lynne Ragan
Hi Lynne, What wonderful and kind words. Thank you for sharing. I’m delighted you are touched by that photo.
Hi Inga, I’m a 17 year old student living in Holland. Your photo’s are truly amazing and make me even more eager to visit New York as soon as I can.

Thank you so very much for your kind words, Rodolfo!
Inga, I agree with everyone, your photographs are beautiful. Would it be ok if I used one or two on the front page of my weekly newsletter on occasion. Here is the most recent: http://conta.cc/q3CCzT
As you will see I include a hot link and credit the photographer.

Are you familiar with my ezine A String of Pearls?
(astringofpearls.org)
I feature a ‘Photographer of the Month’
and wonder if you would care to be the focus for November?
(there is no payment involved)
A String of Pearls is an ezine for women, by women.
Genrally the theme is serenity and peacefulness – however you see that.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Jane,
Thanks so much for thinking of me. So sweet! I will check it out and let you know.
Best to you,
Inga
Glad to find your site, my husband and I are in love with NYC and try to visit every year (we are from Alabama) … we’re going to be in town next weekend and we are so excited! I’m a photographer too and in the several trips we have made there I have made over 10,000 photos!! Looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
Thank you. Glad you enjoy. And have a wonderful visit here!
I was looking for a picture of today’s (10/18/2011) sunrise and I am thrilled to have found your blog! Thanks for posting amazing pictures of this amazing city.
Glad you enjoy my photos!
These shots are really beautiful, Inga. I really enjoy being able to see your views of the city. What talent.

My first trip to NYC was this Thanksgiving my daughter was in the Macy’s Parade. I was so excited and had a great time watching her perform. However I’m a photographer and I didn’t get to take as many pictures (landscapes) of the city. In fact I only seen Central Park from the bus
Therefore I have to go back soon!!! But no one wants to walk around with me and watch me take pics for hours. Do you know of any photo walks in the city? BTW your work is beautiful. I was very upset when i seen your pics of the park and the trees still had fall leaves.I arrived in the city on Nov 19. I’m from the south and we never have leaves in those shades of autumn. The go from green to dead leaves, no in-between.
Hi Renee,
That is so thrilling about your daughter. She must have had a wonderful time (and the weather was fabulous that day)! I am not sure about photo-specific walks, but if you are looking for good walks around town with interesting photo-ops, you may want to check out this site: http://www.walkingoffthebigapple.com/
The beauty of NYC is that nearly everything makes for a great photo-op.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
Inga
Wow! I just stumbled upon your picture on twitpic so i checked it out then saw you had many more. Im in love! Your pictures are incredible? How are they not in any magazine? Im a photographer too, but nowhere near as good as you. I was curious as to what kind of camera you use?
Hi Brett, Thanks for the nice comments! I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 7D. Glad you enjoy the pics!
Do you have an email adress? I want to talk to you about using some of your pictures to post them on a gallery of a twitter account that has over 130k followers.
What are details and what is the site? Thx.
My email is adleon.ciencia@gmail.com the twitter site is https://twitter.com/#!/El_Universo_Hoy Besides posting news about science, we also post pics from around the world. Something like 98% of our followers are from Spain or Latin America. We have a facebook page as well with more than 11k “likes” that we just started.
Hi Antonio, Thanks so much for the interest. Very sweet. I will check this out and get back to you.
Nice colours & symmetricity !
Ash.
Thank you! Glad you like!
Inga,
Do you ever sell your photographs or prints? They are lovely and bring back so many memories of New York for me. I would love to hang one in my home!
–Erin
Thank you, Erin, for such kind remarks. I will keep you posted when I make them available. Glad you enjoy them!
Hello Inga, I love your work. It brings back many great memories of when I visited NY.
On behalf if my son may I ask if you would object to some of your pictures being used for his art homework by means of a PowerPoint presentation?
Many thanks for your consideration in advance.
Kirsty
Hi Kirsty,
Glad you enjoy the pics. If it is for a school project, and if photo credit is given, then that should be fine. Out of curiosity, what grade is he in and does he have particular shots in mind?
Thanks for reaching out.
Inga
Hi Inga
Thanks for getting back to me. My son is in UK Year 8 (second yr of Secondary school). Ge has to name the artist he is profiling in the homework and has to choose pictures taken from a mixture of angles etc. Would you like to see what he creates as I can send this to you via email.
Kind regards
Kirsty
Hi Kirsty, What a wonderful project! If he’d like to share it, then of course I would love to see it. Best to you both!
Love the pics. I’m a struggling author. The latest book I’ve written involves the life of a thirteen year old boy struggling on the streets of New York trying to find his dad that went missing two years ago. Its amazing how your perspective and photographs seem to mimic the ideas in my head… in other words, they really bring the New York in my book to life in stunning color and detail.
Favor to ask, can I re-post some of the photographs on my blog site, stating that they are from my fictional character, but linked back and given credit to you? Also, would you be willing to allow some of your pictures to be slightly modified, words added to, perhaps a book cover, as long as credit was given to you?
Thanks again for your attention to detail, beauty and overall eye for your art.

Hi there, and thank you for the nice comments/interest in my photos.
Sounds like a fascinating project you are working on. Please, however, do not publish/modify my photos.
Best to you and the book!
very stunning ….been here 30 years and i never get tired of seeing NYC
Thx for the comment, Gregory!
Hi Inga. I just discovered your amazing pictures. I’ve visited NYC several times and none of my pictures look like that! I’ve recently started getting into photography after taking a few pictures in Alaska that even I thought were pretty great. What kind of camera do you use? And how do you get such clear pictures at night? I just can’t seem to get the night shots to turn out great. Just using a regular digital camera, maybe I need to upgrade??
Hi Tiffany, I shoot with Canon DSLRs. A tripod is essential for night shooting. If you have not tried that, then do! Happy shooting to you!
Just found your amazing photos on Twitter, I am now following you. Having lived in NYC for some years and becoming a NYC addict, these photos bring me back so many good memories and long to return there every time I can. Thanks so mucho for sharing your art with us.
Look for me on Twitter @luigivis.
Thanks and God speed.
Delighted you enjoy them!
Hi Inga,
Beautiful photographs!
Watched the full moon rising through the white clouds from the west of Ireland last night.
A month doesn’t go by that I don’t try to find her…
Best wishes,
Christine
Thank you, Christine! She is indeed beautiful and always worth the search.
Hello, Inga!
But once I found out about your blog, it just made me happy! Like, this inspires me to dream and to believe that dreams do come true. I’m absolutely amazed at your skills and at the way you see the city yourself. You have such a pretty point of view!!! The way you capture the city’s vibe is fabulous!!!
I can just say that I’m amazed at your skills and at New York City. I’ve always dreamt of going there and even living there, though right now both are impossible
P.S. Sorry if my English is bad
Wish you all the best, Inga!!!
Kalina
Thanks so much! Glad you like the photos!
Hi Inga,
I love your photos, as a keen shutterbug my self Im looking for a few places i may have overlooked to shoot in NYC, Im from England and will be over in New York at the end of September this year I have a few ideas on some nice locations but anything you can recommend for that”different” shot to take home with me would be great!
Thank You
Stephen
Hi Stephen, Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoy!
