This morning was unusual.

I woke up and took the train to New York earlier than usual. The weather had cooled down a bit compared to previous days. As I slowly wandered around, searching for a morning photo before a long meeting at work, I aimed to avoid human contact and focus solely on my photography. However, I soon noticed an unwelcome presence—a person was following me, staying a few meters behind but still within my line of sight. Whenever I entered a shop and then came out, they were right there. This person followed me all the way back to New York Penn Station. I never felt unsafe, just unsettled by the situation.
