Billboards=advertisements. Now billboards=art canvases.

I’m posting this set of links from a New York City-bound Greyhound bus. Ah, the wonders of Wi-Fi.

2. .CROWDED SIDEWALKS.

I’ve always been obsessed with Natalie Portman’s sidewalk scene in Closer. I’ve even listened to “The Blower’s Daughter ” by Damien Rice in crowded commutes to recreate the same experience. Didn’t meet Jude Law though, which was weird…
