Could I Get A Hand Holding This Thing?
One of my favorite blocks in Manhattan is West 46th Street btw. 5th and 6th Avenues. An incredibly diverse mix of styles are represented there, ranging from art deco buildings to brownstones. All were built prior to 1930 and very little has been done since, making the block essentially an architectural museum. West 46th is…

The Case of the Missing Church Half
Walking west on 12th Street from 3rd Ave, you probably wouldn’t give it a second glance: a stone church located midway down the block. Coming from the opposite direction, however, you might notice something decidedly wrong with it. In short, the church has no…church. While this isn’t a secret to most New Yorkers, the remnants…

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
