These pictures were taken in Forest Park, Queens. A strange park in NYC, in that it is acres of hiking trails and dense wooded areas. But there is the constant reminder of urban surrounding by the garbage hidden in the leaves, broken bottles, lost toys, and misplaced underwear. Every once and a while you happen upon two men enjoying themselves in nature, and with each other.
I love trees, and in winter it is like their bones are revealed, a certain extreme nakedness shows their wonderful architecture. Their branches against a grey sky at times look like veins or a mass of wiring hopelessly entangled. So much beauty if you just look up. Just don't look down sometimes or you'll find yourself entangled in some teenagers lost bra. I'll get around to photographing that later.
