5Pointz is at a dead end. The famous aerosol art center in Queens 5Pointz lost a lawsuit for its endurance to the owners of the building. In the morning of November 19th, 2013, it was painted white, graffitti from a ten year period are destroyed. The St. Davis building complex is slated for demolition and shall be replaced with a new development of luxury apartments. More here: www.nydailynews.com/new-york/5-pointz-finished-article-1....

Reflecting Absence - Void

Reflecting Absence - Void, a photo by jankor on Flickr.

Reflecting Absence, one of the two pools at the 9/11 memorial for the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sep 11, 2001 by architects Michael Arad and Peter Walker. Their submission text for the competition can be found here: www.wtcsitememorial.org/fin7.html
The pools reflect the footprint of the former World Trade Center towers. The water goes over the edge and causes an enormous white noise and sucking feeling. Optically, the water pulls the viewer down to the level where the water collects in the pool before it disappears into a huge, square shaped hole in the middle of the pool. The viewer can't see where this water goes, it simply disappears in a roar while sometimes spray above the pools collects the colors of the rainbow. Hardly any memorial has ever touched me so intensely.

A young woman sits at the Revson Fountain at Lincoln Center in New York. The warm summer evening lets her sit right at the water, her bags make an impression as if she were a dancer with a tutu from nearby New York City Ballet.

... and one for the road - Fanelli Café

... and one for the road - Fanelli Café, a photo by jankor on Flickr.

The Fanelli Cafe on the corner of Prince Street and Mercer Street is a SoHo institution and one of my all-time favorite bars in the city. When the New Yorker published in 2012 a wonderful story about Bob Bozic, the article started with this historical wrap-up: Fanelli's is "the second-oldest continuously operating drinking establishment in New York City. The original building, erected in 1847, housed a grocery store, where customers could drink liquor and beer and perhaps gain access to the bordello in the back. After a new building went up, in 1853, the ground floor was described as a saloon. Michael Fanelli bought the place in 1922 and operated it as a speakeasy during Prohibition; his name remained on the neon marquee even after his family sold it, thirty years ago, to a Roumanian named Hans Noe, who passed it on to his son, Sasha." (Nick Paumgarten: "The Ring And The Bar. The Bob Bozic Stories" in New Yorker, January 30, 2012, p. 28-34.)
