One of the reasons, NYC is NYC because the good folks there continue to do crazy (cool) stuff like the Sidewalk Catwalk project.

Created by the Fashion Center Business Improvement District, the project features 32 mannequins dressed by local designers in weather proof material. Loved the the theme by Kenneth Cole (pictured above)

It does add some extra zing to the walk from 34th st to Times Square on 6th Avenue.

Now while B&W photography is considered “classic, timeless, arty, etc etc”, i just love the amount of colour all around us, hence this attempt to capture the ‘colour’ :)

Take a look at some more on Flickr here.

Very few things will make you think if the current recession(read decreased consumption) is a good thing !!

Chris Jordan’s photos are one of them. The picture (or rather half the pic) above represents the amount of oil (28,000 42-gallon barrels) consumed in the US every 2 minutes…

Check out some more his ‘works of art’ here to get a sense of perspective on how much the United States ‘consumes’…Wonder what the pictures will be on a global level.

If you have the time, also check out his excellent presentation below :)
