It only took me 4-hours to figure out how to create this cinemagraph, add the music, and slow it all down, and the final result is exactly what I'm aiming for though it's still not perfect. Though I am learning a great deal

Philately is the study of postage stamps and postal history. It also refers to the collection and appreciation of stamps and other philatelic products. While closely associated with stamp collecting and the study of postage, it is possible to be a philatelist without owning any stamps. For instance, the stamps being studied may be very rare or reside only in museums.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is a popular adage from William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family's rival house of Montague.
The reference is used to state that the names of things do not affect what they really are. This formulation is, however, a paraphrase of Shakespeare's actual language. Juliet compares Romeo to a rose saying that if he were not named Romeo he would still be handsome and be Juliet's love. This states that if he were not Romeo, then he would not be a Montague and she would be able to marry him without hindrances.

Rice Thief 간장 게장 (which Google Translator says means 'Soy Crab') the new establishment at this address is going to make a small fortune, as over the past several years now my neighborhood has seen a huge influx of Asian citizens moving into the area. Plus, Butterfield Market will soon open a location directly across 30th Street from Rice Thief in the Rise condo building (reflected in the marble)

Another one bites the dust. Mike's Pizza is now permanently closed. It was certainly the oddest location for a pizza parlor.
Loving those subtle pink hues in the clouds. So cool

This is interesting. These frosted glass block windows have existed since this building first opened back in 1992. This is a LaGuardia Community College building. They have several buildings in this same area. I'm wondering and extremely curious whether they're planning on changing these windows. No info about this project on their website. This building was designed by famed architect 'Danforth Toan', renown for his brutalist designs.
Long Island City was originally reserved for factories and bakeries. The Long Island Expressway (LIE) has a Van Dam Street exit which runs right through this area and connects to Queens Boulevard and the 59th Street/Queensboro Bridge. That's city-bound traffic. The outbound city traffic exits the bridge via 21st Street, Queens Blvd or Thomson Avenue, which runs into Van Dam St and then several blocks down to the LIE. This building sits smack right on the corner of Thomson Avenue and Van Dam Street. Odd location for a college, though the land may have been cheaper back then.
For several years now, Long Island City has been gentrifying at a break neck speed. And whoever is responsible for changing the windows of this building knows that. It's not just a building. It's a statement. And a really good one. For it will change the dynamic of that entire neighborhood

They're constructing yet another public storage building on Northern Blvd. As for the other two, I have never seen anyone, ever, go inside either one. And I walk past this area twice per day.
I'm blessed in that I can walk to/fro my place of employment in twenty-four minutes

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux French
1865–67
The subject of this intensely Romantic work is derived from canto XXXIII of Dante's Inferno, which describes how the Pisan traitor Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, his sons, and his grandsons were imprisoned in 1288 and died of starvation. Carpeaux's visionary statue, executed in 1865–67, reflects the artist's passionate reverence for Michelangelo, specifically for The Last Judgment (1536–41) in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican, Rome, as well as his own painstaking concern with anatomical realism.
