Days and nights reflects on people differently, hereby I attach my experience and part of memory here to share with everyone has the interest to know what these 7 days provided me.

In the video clip I made, I state the five projects I favor the most in flashback sequence, from May 18 to May 12, the time we started the trip. Noguchi Museum started the presentation of my interpretation on contemporary landscape in NYC. The meaning in architecture and landscape emphasis the empathy on me stronger. In retrospective, the moment we were on the rooftop of Metropolitan Museum of  Art, the scenery of whole uptown east side were in front of my eyesight with the bright sunnight and dazzled me to understand the beauty of NYC. I've been to Metropolitan Museum for several times but it really excited me. What was more exciting was the moment we went to Floyd Bennett Field at Gateway National Recreation Area. I had never known we can stand on the land of Brooklyn to see the panoramic view of Manhattan, JFK airport and New Jersey. In addition, It would be rare we can ride a bicycle on the airplane passway. The shore really distanced us from the metropolitan and gave us a break to enjoy the summer light and wind. 

On Tuesday we went to this interesting project in Brooklyn, Grange Organic Range Rooftop Farm. The concept of urban farm has been widely spread to the public eyes, however, this intention of this project extents not only to sustainable agriculture and be friendly to environment, but also becomes feasible to make profit, which no doubt would promote the idea and method to more adaptable locations. Parley Park was seen in the first of our trip, while for me, I've been there for couple times, as the inevitable spot to subway station when in the midtown area. With the hundred people sunbathe in the area, the fountain vitalize the place, and children chase each other around it.

As all these are my interpretation of the goodness taken place during the trip in NYC, and with the melody of Happy guitar song, I would like to pass on the memory further and enjoy this moment.

2000 photos is an impressive record of images here, it shows you were always looking around. The most distracting issue would be the Pharrell Williams-Muzac inspired tune in the background. MAke use of real sound, which you could collect just as carefully and rigorously as the images you collected all week. As mentioned with others, the film reads as a slideshow, not a film, despite the important number of images collected during the trip.
