8 Hours in Brooklyn: Slow Motion Video From Next Level Pictures
Summer in Brooklyn means a lot of things – hacked fire hydrants, outdoor eating/drinking, pavement hot enough to fry an egg, (insert fond Brooklyn summer memory here).

Dumpster Pool Heaven in Long Island City: The Palms

McCarren Park Now Comes With Dominatrix and Submissive
I’ve seen some weird shit in McCarren park. Hell, I’ve even done some weird shit in McCarren park. But this, this brings weird, public sexuality to a level previously unknown to me outside the wild world of the interwebs. A dominatrix and her submissive just going out for some sun in the park.
