I don't, but it's a joke to get on housing projects roofs in NYC!

Amazing photography, great work!

Terrific pictures! But how can anyone stand living in that city? There's hardly room to breathe.

Oh New York, you're so epic and entertaining.

Great thread, AX. I really enjoyed it.

New York is definitely liveable. I guess you have actually never been there... I wouldn't say the same about other megapolis such as Cairo or Sao Paulo. Hell, I feel more oppressed in Paris or even Grenoble (where I am right now)

I am a New Yorker and I approve this thread.

wonderful set. this absolutely satiates any longing i've had in being removed from new york for so long. lots of great pics, but that light-and-shadow composition under the el train is top notch.

Dr Awesomesauce · #31 Posted **Oct 18, 2010, 11:05 PM**

That was epic, dude. Some very interesting angles. Thanks.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those were incredible and the variety? unsurpassed and boy did you give us a taste of the REAL New York that we all love..can't thank you enough, be there again in 2 weeks!

pdxtex · #33 Posted **Oct 21, 2010, 12:55 AM**

great thread. i want to live in the portland version of that crazy boathouse with the stuffed marlin over the garage door. where is that??

^ It's in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of Red Hook.

ChiTownCity · #35 Posted **Oct 21, 2010, 3:13 PM**

This was honestly a perfect set with a ton of classics!!! (I'm putting this on my favorites bar...)

sabotai · #36 Posted **Oct 21, 2010, 6:22 PM**

Wow, major props!!!! You definitely nailed the real NYC that tourists don't usually see. From architecture to people and culture, you hit it all. You've even inspired me to hit up my less notorious local PJs. I just have one question.

Where the hell is this? I'm assuming somewhere in Queens?

destroycreate · #37 Posted **Oct 21, 2010, 6:46 PM**

Ugh. Those anti-sagging laws never seemed more appropriate.

I loved this thread, though. Great job at capturing the essence of that incredible city!

weird. I found myself in Flushing two days ago staring at this same sign. BTW, Flushing blew my mind. It was like Seoul meets Blade Runner.
