a few dollars to help me buy a new one so I can shoot some more.

I was my room when the air conditioner gave out. My apartment
isn't without technical quirks so I quickly made my way to the fuse box.
Cursing that my building's power had failed I made my way to the street.
My roommate Sarah came with me.
We found mayhem.
Broadway, a central North-South artery of Manhattan,
is a good litmus test. I've walked down to find the street deserted (our
huge snowstorm last winter) or in this case, crowded with hordes of cranky
New Yorkers.
You can see my house about a block down on the right.
Overheard: "That jackass is taking pictures during a national emergency."
The subways had stopped running so everyone had to walk.
Taxis were rare.
There were many, many people on the streets.
Those caught in busses, cars or taxis going downtown
didn't quite know what to do. People stood on their fire escapes marveling
at the sea of people.
Groups of people huddled around cars, listening to the Mayor address the city.
Soho gawked.
