28orestes' 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 “This week was visually stunning, as the weather was crisp, the leaves were still on the trees, and the fall colors were at their peak. I chose to take a picture on LIC’s Landmark Block, 45th Avenue, which at this time of the year rivals any street in the Village or Brooklyn Heights. It doesn’t hurt to have a pretty neighbor stroll through the scene as well.” NOVEMBER 2013 I LIC COURIER I www.queenscourier.com THROUGH THE BLOCK stroll
