Times Square, July 2014

Times Square seems to have been designed to command one’s attention, from the massive ad-filled screens to the shops themselves. Its too easy to spend a lot of time here, as in addition to the shops and screens, the streets are filled with talented individuals, each in pursuit of money and recognition.

Nude Girl Posing for Pictures – Times Square, July 2014

The most astonishing of all was a woman, completely naked except for her practically absent briefs and the paint that covered every inch of her body. She had the American flag painted on her and with this she was charging people five dollars to have a photo taken with her.

Ballerina – Central Park, August 2014

This woman appeared out of nowhere, dressed in White from head to toe. Even her face was powdered. It was immediately evident that she was about to do some ballet act of some kind. Instead of starting some previously rehearsed dance act, she simply waited for people passing by to award her with the suggested $5 before immediately coming to life by gracefully dancing for every person who donates money.
