Sooooo it’s been awhile.
I know, not cool. Our apologies.
But let’s forget all that and just get right down to the goods of our
most recent shoot in Long Island City!
Two weeks ago we took the train to Queens to visit a site we
had long wanted to shoot, 5 Pointz in LIC.
5 Pointz is a giant, ever-evolving outdoor exhibit for graffiti artists,
as well as a haven for NYC photographers.
The owner currently rents the interior of the building as studios and
work spaces for various local artists, and allows graffiti artists from around
the world to continue to decorate the exterior during the day, out in the open,
every weekend.
Upon hearing talk that 5 Pointz may be torn down to make
room for some new high-rise buildings, we decided to finally make the
trip. We weren’t disappointed. After getting lost wandering 5 Pointz, we
enjoyed the rest of the day checking out the other sites of LIC, from the Pepsi
sign and view of Manhattan, to local pubs and some excellent beer (check out
Sawtooth Ale, yuum).
