Take a look at Orestes’ Haunting video of Black & White photographs taken the night after hurricane Sandy ripped through Manhattan Vimeo.com/78436106 12 march 2015 i LIC COURIER i www.queenscourier.com 2015 NIGHT SHIFT “With all the construction going on everywhere in the city, Con Ed crews work 24/7 just to keep up with the demand of the city’s underground network of heat, power and communication lines. This shot was taken along a busy street at midnight. The construction lights created a dramatic effect against the steam coming out of the street. Working at a fast clip, these workers had to be finished by 5 a.m. to open the street back up for the heavy commuter traffic that will unfold at that time.”
