FriendsWithYou

The new section of the HighLine was recently completed, taking it right up to 30th street. It's a beautiful walk through Chelsea and soon I'll have to give it it's own posting, but unfortunately I don't have any good shots of it yet (when I went it was so crowded it was impossible to stop and take photos)

However, what I did both photograph, and love was the exhibition put on at the end of the Highline just underneath it at 11th and 30th.

FriendsWithYou are a toy making collective set up by a couple of American wanting to look Japanese.

AOL gave them the resources to build there very own Mario Kingdom of inflatable mushrooms and giant tethered balloons.

I can't imagine what it would be like on drugs, but even in my lucid state I was pretty blown away by the place.


I even bought the t-shirt. Thankfully free of AOL branding on the front :)
