“I never knew what I was doing until I was done.” – Man Ray (Union Square Holiday Market)
wavelength. (Long Beach)
“Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colors and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it's wet.” — Banksy (5 Pointz: Long Island City)
“Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!” (Columbus Circle)
“To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.” — Henri Cartier-Bresson (touch football in the snow: Astoria)
Spare change. (Union Square Park)
staring contest. (Astoria)
“Just put your lips together and blow.” (Occupy Wall Street)
“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” – Annie Leibovitz (Gantry State Park: Long Island City)

Thank you in advance!
the dog and the cats here get along fine too, but I don't know if the cats would walk on a leash LOL. The dog doesn't like it, either ! the snoozing baby is adorable. Love the musicians. Long ago Antwerp had musicians like that, on street corners, but I think it got forbidden, a shame. It made people stop and listen, and when the song was over, sometimes we would talk... just like our animals are a contact point! Never thought about graffiti like that, but you are right - why not? some graffiti is art !
Thank you, Mickey!
