Take a look at Orestes’ Haunting video of Black & White photographs taken the night after hurricane Sandy ripped through Manhattan Vimeo. com/78436106 12 may 2015 i LIC COURIER i www.queenscourier.com Mural In MIami “I was recently in the Wynwood District of Miami, a place that reminds me of 5 Pointz to an extent and is a mecca for mural and graffiti artists from all over the world. I took this picture from inside the car, intrigued by the intense colors of the wall framed by the metallic grey of the car’s interior. When I got back home and looked at the image, what really struck me was the mural I picked up, quite by accident, through the rear view mirror. The fact that an ‘eye’ is on that image makes it even more intriguing to me. Sometimes in photography, happy accidents happen that make it a magical moment.”
