Courtesy of photographer Mircea Nicolescu, we’re sharing some scenes from Onlooking, New York Street Photography, his just opened show in Bucharest, Romania.
A strong turnout. Visitors prepared to enter the exhibit.
Many of the pictures represent what Nicolescu saw during his walks around Roosevelt Island. This bit of ironic whimsey gave Romanian crowds a sense of how the local community represents its own slice of New York City.
The exhibit was set up with an uncrowded look, allowing unhurried enjoyment of the work.

Still Searching: Transparency Delayed at RIOC
New York’s Freedom of Information Law rests on a basic principle: government records belong to the public unless an agency can identify a lawful reason to withhold them. For Roosevelt Island residents, that right matters because RIOC controls public land, infrastructure, transportation, contracts and development without functioning as a locally elected government.
