Our New Skyline

Developers are putting up hideous new skyscrapers along the South end of the park, supported to a great extent, by anonymous foreigners who are laundering, or otherwise caching money in NY real estate. These shadow-throwing structures often remain unoccupied and are owned by the innermost company of a series of shell companies. May they fade away as they appear to here.

Great Lawn, Central Park, New York

Lumière d’été

Pier I, Riverside Park, New York

Summer series of outdoor French films. This particular evening, Jean Renoir’s Elena et les Hommes with Ingrid Bergman, selected by her daughter, Isabella Rossellini, shown on Pier I sticking out from Riverside Park into the Hudson River, New Jersey in the background. This is a shot of the animated, psychedelic short they showed first.
