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 “I happened to be walking by 47th Avenue and saw a typical scene right around this time of year. Rose Amodeo and her son, Charles, were putting the fi nishing touches on the decorations on their house. Doreen Dwyer and Mary Ann Kammerer were there to help out. I love this time of year in LIC!” DECEMBER 2013 I LIC COURIER I www.queenscourier.com GETTING READY FOR christmas 2013
