It seems like John de Guzmán spends every day capturing the most beautiful scenes around the city, so it’s no surprise that his end-of-the-year video is stunning. Sit back and take a trip through the year that was 2011 in New York City.

A lot happened in NYC in 2011. This is what I saw through my cameras.
