The Forgotten Cemetery at Home Depot
The Jericho Turnpike, cutting east-west through Long Island, is pretty much a wasteland of strip malls, corporate office parks, and fast food chains… …and the last place you’d expect to find anything of historical or cultural value is in the parking lot of a Home Depot. I think that’s what makes this place so great….
The Hungry Gargoyles of 110th Street
One of my favorite buildings in Morningside Heights is the Britannia at 527 West 110th Street.

Times Square Recycle Billboard Made From Recyclables
Note: This is long gone.

I wish they had made it a little…
The 40th St Philosophers
One of my favorites bits in Times Square can be found on West 40th Street between Broadway and 6th. It’s two blocks from the main Times Square action, and you can feel the frantic energy vanish as soon as you turn onto the street. If you look closely at the building to the left, you’ll…

cute
Interesting concept! Thanks for sharing!
Heh. Doesn’t feel hipster at all; more like an early Yoko Ono conceptual piece.
This is great. Thanks for sharing. I’d like to use this in an architecture lecture and would like to credit the artist. What does that say at the bottom of the image “Living ______” ?
“Living Exercises”
Interesting! What a great way to make friends.
Nice thought.
I love this too. I posted a picture of this on my twitter a few months ago. I post a lot of random pictures from Brooklyn and Manhattan like this from my blackberry as I walk the streets. Feel free to follow me @evatography.
I also have professional photography work that can be viewed here
