Worst public art ever.

a great weekend for jamaica pond park

between this and the music fest (and the ongoing landmarks orchestra events) i'm glad to see the arts alive around Jamaica Pond, and to see this park--itself one of the great works of art in this city--continue to reflect the society it serves. Olmsted only made "19th century" parks because that is when he lived, and sadly some communities seek to freeze them as relics. I'm so happy to see this park living and breathing

Looks like they covered Dada

Looks like they covered Dada in art school.

Initially great for homeless sleeping, if you're not too big

But you can't get out fast enough when another bum shivs you for your Night Train.

People seem to like it in person.

blurry eyes

odd how the field of focus changes so drastically from the joggers knees to torsos....or am I just still hungover from the weekend?

he used a tilt-shift app

not actual depth of field.

yes, I suspected as much

But otherwise a decent-enough photo.
