INTERSECTION | NYC-NIGHT BY NAVID BARATY
NY, Brooklyn-based photographer Navid Baraty (facebook / behance) - “Anyone who’s walked around a city looking up at the grandeur of the towering buildings knows how small you can feel amid such giants. I wanted to instead look down from those dizzying heights and capture a surreal and altered perspective on the familiar chaotic but rhythmic life below. While there’s undeniable beauty in abstracting architecture into angles and reflections, I was attracted even more by the unique character of each city that could still be perceived from far above.” read more
Times Square’s New Heart Formed with Salvaged Hurricane Sandy Debris
A sweet yet meaningful new art installation was recently unveiled in Times Square. Brooklyn-based design firm Situ Studio created Heartwalk, a heart-shaped enclosure made from boardwalk boards salvaged from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Collected both from New York and New Jersey, the boards form a slatted construction that lifts from the ground and is illuminated from within. Visitors are encouraged to enter the installation and literally stand in the heart of the city. (via: mymodernmet)

EARTH ABIDES
Photographer Eli Maier | Rainwood Productions
Dedicated to George R. Stewart
author of post-apocalyptic science fiction novel Earth Abides
“The idea is to illustrate the fall of civilization. Сity lights will continue to shine for a while, but civilization has already gone. It is a mix of photographs I made on the Green-Wood Cemetery and the most famous spots of New York City: Wall Street, Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Midtown and Central Park.”
FIGMENT SUMMER-LONG SCULPTURE GARDEN
Artist, Sculptor | Kathy Creutzburg
During the 2012 summer season, “Pulling It Too Tight” is a sculptural installation that may be visited on Governor’s Island. These overlapping benches are meant to resemble a herd of messy and unkempt animals needing to be groomed. The mosaic animal faces on the different benches were designed with the assistance of children at Manhattan East Middle School, during after-school art-making sessions. - Kathy Creutzburg

Humans of New York
Photographer BRANDON STANTON
About - I get really passionate about things. At some time in my life, I’ve been obsessed or borderline-obsessed with saltwater aquariums, the baritone euphonium, Barack Obama, reading, piano, filming, financial markets, New York City, and photography. I was once arrested for taking photographs inside Gianni Versace’s South Beach mansion. It was 3 AM. I was super drunk. I studied History at the University of Georgia. During my senior year of college, I took out $3,000 in student loans and bet it on Barack Obama to win the presidency. A friend heard about this bet and got me a job trading bonds on the Chicago Board of Trade. I traded for three years. It went really well for awhile. But then it went really bad. Whoops. After I lost my trading job, I decided to move to New York City and take portraits of strangers on the street. Mom wasn’t too happy about that decision, but so far it’s gone pretty well. I’ve taken nearly 5,000 portraits and written 50 stories. And I’ve met some amazing people along the way.
