36orestes Editor’s note: Orestes is an architect, photographer, writer and resident of LIC since 1989. He has been taking photographs for over 25 years, traveling to over 40 countries and documenting what has become the overriding theme in his photography -- man’s intrinsic need for leaving a mark and the different paths to achieving it. His column, “Orestes’ LIC”, will concentrate on showing snippets of life around the areas we live in. A local record keeper, if you will. You can see Orestes video of LIC Artists in their Studios here:VIMEO. com/42360212 “ QUEENS PLAZA ” 2013 The dynamic activity at the transportation hub that is Queens Plaza is almost akin to the Times Square area. This shot, taken on a rainy evening after 10 p.m., shows how, even late at night, this place is always bustling. An indication of how things are changing in this area and in Long Island City.
