    Watching this mime’s performance felt more like performance art than busking. This man commanded attention in a public transit space; which is not an easy feat. MichaelTapp.com

    It honestly fascinates me that the spire on top of The Empire State Building was originally designed to mount zeppelins. The 102nd floor was designed to be a landing platform and passengers were supposed to check in on the 86th floor. Ultimately the Empire Airship Terminal was abandoned due to a lack of mooring lines and wild updrafts. And yes, skyskraper spires are also a way of increasing their height for the sake of achieving records. A glimpse of The Empire State Building is inspirational for me. It was constructed during the depression outside of New York’s financial district. I think the building is a metaphor for reaching for the stars; even when it’s illogical. Source MichaelTapp.com

    This is a grab from Brooklyn’s Bring to Light festival. I feel fortunate to live in a place where a community embraces the idea of transforming their city into a big artsy-fartsy multimedia installation.

    A snapshot from the 2011 Gay Pride March in New York. A bill legalizing Gay marriage was passed in the New York senate two days earlier.
