I spent 2 weeks working on the streets of the lower east side and
walked all over Manhattan carrying many cameras and didn't lose a thing.
I was threaten with my life more times then I cared for but left NYC
with everything I brought.... and some great pictures.
That said, use common sense. Don't flash what you don't have to and
be conscience of your surroundings and who is standing just a little too close.
Don't walk in isolated areas, explore crack houses, etc, etc, etc....
The usual Big City survival awareness stuff.
have a good trip,
