New York City, lines, colours and bridges

I’ve dug out some old-ish photographs I took on my NYC trip in September 2008. Most of these photos were taken on the Williamsburg Bridge, which doesn’t have the same easy-on-the-eye aesthetics as the Brooklyn Bridge but is nonetheless as interesting. I particularly like its geometry and colours. Look at the lines, they appear everywhere.

What a gorgeous view of Manhattan I had there. What a beautiful sky.

This is the window of a cake shop in Brooklyn. Very colourful cakes but I’m not sure I’d want to buy mine from there… erm…

MoMA PS1, an awesome art space, is based in a formerly derelict school building (PS1 derives from Primary School One).

“MoMA PS1 was founded in 1971 by Alanna Heiss as the Institute for Art and Urban Resources Inc., an organization devoted to organizing exhibitions in underutilized and abandoned spaces across New York City.”
