5 Pointz 2, 2013
The 5 Pointz Aerosol Arts Center, the graffiti mecca in Long Island City, Queens, was recently painted white and is scheduled to be demolished soon.  Sad news.  I'm glad I had a chance to take a few pinhole photos there last August.

All photos were shot using a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Kodak Ektar 100 film.

Thanks for visiting.  Please leave all comments or questions in the space provided.

  2. Great shots, Joanna. Scott and I accidentally landed there on an evening early last spring, and I took a bunch of shots at night. I didn't capture as much as you did, but I'm glad I got to see it in person before it was disappeared. Thanks for these images. Dayle
