A Match Made in NYC (Weekend Reflections # 54)

I was walking on E 51st street between Madison and 5th Ave when I came upon this strange scene. I'm not exactly sure what this guy was doing but he stayed in this pose for a lot longer than I expected. Then the driver of the pink car got out with a spray bottle and a dirty look and preceded to clean the spot that the guy with the pink shirt touched.
All this and the bonus of the reflections in the back window and surrounding cars. I love NYC!

I think a good caption for this photo would be "Where have you been all my life" because it seemed to be love at first sight.

  1. Wit a pink car and a pink T-shirt the guy should be proud!

    Maybe he had just hurt his pinky...

  3. You never know what you will find in NYC! And limo drivers tend to be protective of their cars.

  4. Oh my gosh, that's hilarious! 'Where have you been all my life' fits perfectly!!!

  5. That's quite the pink limo...was Mary Kay in town? Haha!

  8. The picture is so rich that we could almost forget the reflection!
    My first reaction is : "too much cars for me!" I hate traffic, and driving among so much cars must be hell!
    then, the boy..I'd say he's japanese, and found this pink limo so "kawai" as they say, so "cute"!:))
    The fun comes from the driver, if you say that this rough guy was driving a "pink "car.NYC is also the city of the Village people!:)))

  9. He certainly seems enamoured! I like the chap in the green shirt - he looks as though he's about to intervene :-)
    Wonderful photo!

  10. Striking image, I wonder if he was simply posing for a photographer. Cool series, I am late for this meme, though.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love this pink reflection picture James. have a good weekend

    ReplyDelete
  26. This is a truly great shot James! I love that pink car because my grandmother had a pink car when I was growing up and it attracted a lot of attention too. This picture reminds me of her!

    ReplyDelete
  27. There even seems to be pink in the the guy's scarf! It's amazing that the T-shirt pink is such a similar pink to the car! Incredible shot! O, and love the bent skyscraper in his rear window!

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's a cool one!

  30. Car windows have such very interesting reflections. Looks like this person is a fan of the gorgeous pink car.

  31. I am brand new to your blog and LOVE your photos! We have been NYC several times (my son was there for the US Open) and love the city. You NEVER know what you will see for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Cool photo, James ! There is so much to look at, love the guy in pink. Maybe it is his favorite color? NYC is a great place to visit.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Don't you just love it when something like this presents itself. The pink t-shirt couldn't have matched the pink limo better if you tried to find a match. Whatever he's doing, he's getting a big kick out of it! I also like the guy in the background with the mint green shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I have a city building distorted in a window, too (but no pink car or guy in a pink shirt) So much alike and soooooo different.

    ReplyDelete
  35. You just don't see a pink stretch limo every day, not even in NYC. Wow!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think I have my next car pink too, this is such a nice color, lol. Amazing moment captured on camera, and somethings we will never know. Great work. Anna :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow! Pink car!:-) Great and so are the reflction.

  41. Perhaps it was a performance, how many people stopped or photographed? I like the assortment of pinks ... and the subtle reflection.

    Have a good weekend !

    ReplyDelete
  42. It looks like he's trying to squash a bug with that paper or something. Maybe the car driver had to clean up the ick.

    It is a nice reflection. And a very interesting scene! Happy weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  43. That is a funny one indeed !

    The limo is quite impressive in this cute pink, and the guy seems to have so much fun with his review...

    Nice catch, thank you so much for the sharing... (It has illuminated my grey-and-rainy saturday)

  44. What a wonderful photo! i too got so caught up in the hilarity of the moment that I had to go back up and look at the reflections!

    Another caption ... "I just need a moment alone ..."?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Only in New York! This is SO funny! At first I thought he belonged to the Limo - obviously wishful thinking! Ha ha! Great capture and a fun one, too!

    ReplyDelete
  46. If I were him, I would really run my body around this car.. hahah.. so pretty no wonder why he's awed...

    ReplyDelete
  47. It's so LA...no, I mean NYC. :)
    Super find. Love the expression on the young man's face.
    I definitely HEART NY. My memories of the visit 2 years ago October are still fresh in my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  48. LOL! That's a really great picture!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Love it :) I bet NYC provides fodder for some great shots.

    My first time here and joining in. Looking forward to seeing other reflection shots :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. I see that somehow my earlier comment didn't take....so the saying that boys/men don't like pink is not true!

    ReplyDelete
  51. We will never know! Great photo, lots of fun (love the purple shoes with pink), and yes! I love NYC, too :)

    ReplyDelete

  53. I think he is just happy seeing a beautiful pink car that matches his shirt. Pink is one of my favorite colors too. Great capture.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love NYC, too. You can expect the unexpected, and your photo proves that.

    ReplyDelete

  56. Yes, New York city is right up there with San Francisco and London, in my book.

    You depicted a very cool slice of New York life, as well as some interesting reflections. Gotta love that bubble gum pink!c
