orestes' lic Editor’s note: Orestes Gonzalez 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. Take a look at Orestes’ Haunting video of Black & White photographs taken the night after hurricane Sandy ripped through Manhattan Vimeo.com/78436106 12 august 2014 i LIC COURIER i www.queenscourier.com 2014 5POINTZ “Now that the 5Pointz site is ready for demolition, I thought it would be timely to publish an image of the walls after they were painted over. Even though the murals were covered with a coat of white paint, the spirit of the artists who embellished this site for many years still comes through. Let’s hope that the artists of our community continue to be an important part of Long Island City.”
