It's good you could bring some good out of the bad.
My favorite photo:
I'm sure you meant "break-in becomes awesome photo trip to New York and TV appearance" when you said "bring some good out of the bad," but it's appropriate that you then selected as your favorite photo the one of Hoboken Terminal, which was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy and shuttered for weeks but is now looking good as ever (from a distance, at least).
Sorry, but I feel as though I just hit the big jackpot at the firehouse on thursday evening after seeing this thread. Great stuff as always Flash, thanks.
