A slide & swing set in the middle of a field up in the Finger Lakes, NY, June 2014. The sign reads: "Persons over the age of 12 not allowed on." Psssht! :p

Part of my photography series, Juxtaposition, in which I took two provocative & contrasting quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr. and paired them with photographs I snapped which powerfully contrast side by side, with the very last picture in the series deviating, giving the viewer further food for thought.. 

Tell me some lies. Photo: I popped into a tunnel near The Highline in NYC & discovered some stellar street art in there!

This "bouquet" is a bit of an illusion, as it was a tiny twig with itsy bitsy flowers, and I laid down on the sidewalk to magnify this lil beauty.

The first alternating quote in this PhotoArt Series, “When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” The other quote which alternates throughout the Juxtaposition PhotoArt Series, and it’s a beauty. 

Amazing street art. Photo: Near The Highline, in NYC, I found this tunnel which was a feast for the senses, with gorgeous art flowing all around. I used a Noir filter for this pic.
