The photo you see above is the recreation of Queens famous bicycle album photo. It was shot on a hot summer day in the Lower East Side park. I was phoned by my photographer friend, Matthu Placek (among a bevy of other cool chicks in NYC) to be part of this art installation. Quite an honor.

Best memory of the day? All of us actually rode our bicycles like a big gang through West Broadway and Canal Streets. I’ve never seen NYC Taxi Drivers brake so hard. It was like team streaking, but not really. Pretty cathartic.
