5 Pointz Queens

11/9/2013

The 5 Pointz Aerosol Art Center in Long Island City is a wonderful place for artistic expression of graffiti artists. Unfortunately it is slated for demolition and replacement by two luxury residential buildings. See it if you can while it is still there. Below are some photographs taken recently in and around 5 Pointz.

Check out the patterns of shadows on the wall, created by the overhead subway tracks just above me.

Even this mural of a payphone is on the way out if the building gets demolished, not to mention actual payphones. Of course, they live in our hearts (while cell phones live in our pockets).

Picture
A film production artist and fashion designer, both from Argentina. Can you guess which is which?

Picture
Now with a local girl included  :)

Picture
The talented Brazilian music star Amannda with her adorable little daughter Bella.

Someone left their hat to the elements.

Picture
Any sympathetic souls out there want to give this hat a home?

Picture
Yes, Graffiti artists have rules too.

"Watched"

"Trains and Chains"

A fellow lightjacker creating a bit of drama.

More drama.

Picture
Remember this one from above. Now we have birds too. Quite a few actually are observable sitting on the branches in a full resolution photo. See what you can't see! Buy a print when available and you can count the birds, oh joy.

Picture
Oh look... there is a man photographing the mural of a big hand.

This building will be missed if it is demolished. (Update: it has been)


Picture
I liked this colorful old parked food truck in the warmth of a setting sun. As for puddles.....

Picture
I sure like puddles (at least looking at them). The nerve of that man walking by and ruining my shot...hmm.

Picture
I liked the geometry and colors of the train tracks and building reflected in the puddle. The sky is nice too, but what I really love is that chunk of garbage on the ground seen in the lower left....don't  you agree? Photo-realism at its best.

Picture
My little colorful food truck again, replete with sunset reflecting in the window. Why this photo you say? I'm a boy, that's a truck....enough said.


Picture
I think the abundant garbage in the foreground adds to the composition once again.... you?

Picture
The colored version of this with an orange sky was quite dramatic... but this is what you get. Look...there's no cover charge so stop complaining!

Picture
Talented aerosol artist starting from scratch- fun to watch.
