At Columbus Circle from a visit to the Big Apple in August 2011, which now feels like an eternity ago.

I haven’t been to New York for several years now but one thing I loved about the place was poking around the city’s less-touristy (relatively, anyway) areas to look for stuff like this. This is from August 2011.

Some street art spotted on the streets of New York City way back in August 2011. (I really need to get back there for another visit!)

Farewell to 5 Pointz

I read on the Interwebs in the last few days of the demise of 5 Pointz, a large industrial complex in Queens that was once a haven for graffiti artists.
And what a haven it was. Much of the building’s exterior surface was transformed from a one-time industrial wasteland to colourful, bright urban art.
The building even hosted artists inside for a time.
Here are some snapshots from that place, taken on my last visit to New York in August 2011. I’m very glad I got to see it before it was dismantled.

Another oldie today … one of my favourite nighttime photos shot with the iPhone 4.
Visiting New York in February 2011, I came across a couple of kids recording some skateboarding videos at Columbus Circle in Manhattan as I was walking back to my hotel near to Lincoln Center.
With every take they made they got better at what they were doing … and I got to practice my panning skills.

This shot is from a trip to New York back in February 2011. The cool thing about going to such an attraction as the Empire State Building in the dead of night on a cool late-winter evening is definitely the lack of lines through security and whatnot. The risk, however, is that you’ll encounter cold temperatures, blustery winds and rapidly shifting weather — as seen in this photo!
