Be sure to swing by one of those orange bins, located on just about any corner in NYC and pick up the newest copy of
The L Magazine. I,
justiNYC shot the cover shot!
I find it very interesting (albeit,
very NYC) to use a photograph of street art to demonstrate the "Fitness" theme that The L is going for this time around. Even moreso, the irony of this particular piece (by internationally known UK artist,
Banksy) on this particular North 6th Street wall (currently slated for development) is especially interesting. To be precise,
this Banksy work is gone already. [
Curbed] First, it
seemingly had a new tenant, then it was gone.[Test of Will] It just goes to show,
everything in NYC does start and end with real estate-
even cover photos on entertainment guides.Few might see it this way- but could it be said that Williamsburg is "shaping up?" It is a fact that many (if not most) of the Burg's blocks are "losing weight," yet only to double, triple or even quadruple in size in the places where pounds are being shed.
Hmmm... a little real property philosophy to ponder.
Don't lose any weight over it.As many of you may know, this isn't the first time
justiNYC has had the pleasure of decorating L Magazine covers. The thrill of having around a hundred thousand New Yorkers carrying around your photograph in their back pocket is enough to feel all warm and fuzzy inside....well, maybe not but one damn sure feels as though they have "made it" in NY when it happens.
Here are a few of the other covers and stories I've worked on with the L Mag:

Put one in your pocket- The L Magazine knows whats up!powered by performancing firefox
If you look close, you will see that Justin Farrow (me...duh) has a nice little purdy Williamsburg shot in there. Although the shots are not of the Old Dutch Mustard this time, this view is from the roof of a building that is no longer small...its growing like a weed, over near McCarren Park (...excuse me, Karl Fisher Row).
As seen in the New York City Cityscapes Issue of the L Magazine, this picture from Justin Farrow is reflective of a time that is quickly fleeting in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
As mentioned a few times before, there's just nothing quite like having a photograph that you've taken find its way into the hands of at least a million people while ending up on every street corner of this fine city of ours. I've had the opportunity to shoot a lot of landscape that no longer exists out here in Brooklyn and I'm very happy to have been given the chance(s) to share it all with you.

This massive piece will most definitely not survive very long, but the feat itself is amazing, to say the least. So, in honor of Supine and for sake of giving HUGE props, I figured it appropriate to dig out a few other works that I've gathered along the way.
