The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials.

We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location.

71st Street Station –
Artist: Joan Linder
Title: The Flora of Bensonhurst
Date: 2012
Medium: Laminated glass
Location: Platform windscreens
Fabricator: Tom Patti Design

Joan Linder’s artwork will provide an elegant and dynamic tribute to the natural landscape in Bensonhurst. Linder’s proposal presents drawings of flora taken from the actual wild vegetation from the streets and lots in the neighborhood. These botanical images also flow in the direction of the train as the visual indication of departure and arrival. The work will be installed in the windows above the stairways that can be seen from the platform and the street level. In the medium of glass, the work will be aided by the strong light available to this particular station.

For more information about art throughout the New York transit system, download the Meridian app.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara with Carlos Fonseca (founder of the FSLN) and A.C. Sandino. Below them is Monseñor Romero (the woman with him is a particular person, also a martyr of some kind, but I can’t remember who it is! shame on me!). At the top right is an anonymous compa (compañero=Sandinista soldier) helping women and children.

Despite the seriousness of the mural, I can’t help thinking that Che looks like he’s saying to Fonseca and Sandino, "c’mon guys, this is so not my scene–let’s go get a beer."

How To Create A Multiple Exposure Effect In Post

23 Dec

Using this technique you can create a stippled effect common to impressionist painters by blending multiple layers of a single image.

To do this technique, you will need to use a photo editor that supports layers. I use Photoshop Elements but you can also use Gimp, which is free, and many other photo editors.

Don’t let the layers thing scare you away, ok? In fact, if you are leery of layers trying this technique should, ironically, make it all become clear.

Pick an image to start. I particularly like this effect on flowers and foliage but it works for other subjects too. Here is the image I will use to start.

Red Flowers Original

Follow these steps:
1. Duplicate the background layer (Layer>Duplicate Layer)
Duplicate Background Layer


2. Reduce the opacity of the new layer to 30%
Reduce Layer Opacity


3. Use the move tool (usually an arrow) and move the layer slightly in any direction
Move Tool


4. Duplicate the background layer again (it’s on the bottom of the layer list)
5. Drag the new layer to the top of the layers list
Layer List 1Layer List 2


6. Reduce the opacity of the new layer to 30%
7. Use the move tool to move the layer slightly in a different direction
8. Repeat steps 4-7 any number of times
9. When you are happy with the result, use the crop tool to crop the edges of the image where you can see the borders of the moved layers.
Crop Tool

Here’s a little video that shows me performing these steps.

And the final image:

Red Flowers with Multiple Exposure Effect

There are many different ways you can accomplish a particular effect in photoshop (or your photo editor of choice). I try to use the simplest methods I can find to keep it simple.
