Photography Tip for Portraits (Underrated Location in NYC)

Make your photographs pop with natural lighting! The balance of light is extremely important in creating a great and interesting photograph. It is recommended that a photographer schedules a photo shoot during the time that is before dusk. It will provide a golden sheen to your portraits and make them look ethereal.

A brownstone is an iconic location in NYC that is underrated for any photoshoot. The architecture of a brownstone is classic, and the symmetry of the entry way has a certain elegance. The array of different colors makes an unique backsplash in the background.

59th Street Bridge

How long does it take to walk across the Queensboro Bridge?

Expect a walk across to take around 30 minutes with no stops. If taking photos along the way, plan on spending a bit more time on the bridge. Nice structure and easy walk. Unlike the other bridges, this one crosses over an island (Roosevelt Island) allowing a unique look down upon the buildings on the island.

Is there a bike lane on Queensboro Bridge?

Queensboro Bridge Bike and Pedestrian Improvements Delayed a Full Year. Cyclists and pedestrians will still have to share a single, narrow, two-way lane on the Queensboro Bridge for another two years, thanks to a delay in a larger bridge renovation project by the Department of Transportation.

Is Queensboro Bridge free?

The Queensboro Bridge is the northernmost of four toll-free vehicular bridges connecting Manhattan Island to Long Island, along with the Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn bridges to the south.

In conclusion, the Queensboro Bridge stands as a symbol of New York City's rich history, architectural prowess, and vibrant community connections. Its significance lies in its role as a vital transportation hub, an architectural icon, and a historical landmark. The bridge's cultural references, panoramic views, and economic impact further enhance its importance in the fabric of the city.

As a testament to human ingenuity and engineering marvel, the Queensboro Bridge has withstood the test of time, adapting to the evolving needs of a bustling metropolis. It serves as a lifeline for commuters, a symbol of unity between boroughs, and a visual landmark for navigation.

Moreover, the bridge's influence extends beyond its physical structure. It has shaped urban development, inspired preservation efforts, and become a cherished tourist attraction. The Queensboro Bridge embodies the spirit of New York City, reflecting its resilience, diversity, and constant drive for progress.

Whether it's the breathtaking views, the hidden gems waiting to be discovered, or the historical and cultural significance it holds, the Queensboro Bridge remains an enduring icon and a source of pride for the city. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit and unwavering ambition that defines New York City, capturing the imagination of both locals and visitors alike.

Beloved Monsters 

by Janet Bruesselbach

ANNOUNCING A POP-UP PUBLIC EXHIBITION AND RECEPTION Thursday, June 29, 2023, 6–8 pm The Experimental Space, 43-01 22nd St. #300,  Long Island City, NY 11101

Beloved Monsters is a series of portraits in oils that explores queer sympathies with mythic creatures. There are 25 paintings around 2 by 3 feet on average, which were produced between 2016 and 2023. Janet Bruesselbach recruited models from its friends and LGBTQIA2S+ community, primarily in New York City, who related to the idea of embracing being othered or considered beyond normative personhood, in their queerness, and often in their neurodivergence and disability as well. In collaboration, artist and subject imagined what mythical cryptid, monster or mythic being they might embody. Each creature retains a human face and often much of the human figure, challenging viewers to contemplate both the relatability of the monstrous and the ways in which society forces outsiders into these archetypes. Despite the name, not all of these creatures fulfill the narrative role of “monster” and instead are re-interpretations of mythology specific to the subject’s experience and artist’s imagination. Every painting is an expression of the artist’s love for its model, and the beautiful diversity of society’s gender and sexual outliers.

Original works, catalogs and prints will be available for sale. This project was funded primarily by a Kickstarter in 2021. This event is made possible with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.

For inquiries contact [email protected]. All works may be viewed at belovedmonsters.art.
