New Yorkers Restreeted.



Words and phrases buzzed round my head as i placed my magnets along 14th Street.




Does anyone else think while



roaming New York:



what the hell is this stuff



and who buys it?



@jusbass




It had been a long road to get to this point and...... a heavy night. I'd taken 75 tweets from New York residents and along with a drawn bird, turned them into magnetic vignettes. Their thoughts still resonated...




I was embarassed



and I didnt want it to lead to



other embarassing things.



@afgutierrez




It was quick and effortless. Between The Highline and 9th Ave it is adorned with metalllic surfaces. I put out all 150 magnets and photographed every one.




What is the etiquette



for when your ex-BF calls you to ask where in NYC



would be a good place to send



his new GF shopping



@contraryashley


When you're out there you realise how little personal content exists on the street. Apart from names like Stella McCartney, where are people heard? I'm a quiet man and a good listener and I wanted to change that. Maybe New Yorkers get a bad press for being unapproachable but I have found the opposite. Twitter made it possible to hear them.






They got on the bus together



that was unexpected.



I was sure they already said goodbye



but then he offered to walk her to the bus stop.



@tiedyeina






As if to reinforce my postive suspiscions about NY, I was taken under the wing of @mikedirubbo, the first tweeter i featured on this project 6 months ago. I will never forget the experience. Thank you.

My heart



bleeds no more.
