New Yorkers & Nudity



Yesterday, I showed you my pics of Antony Gormley's showstopping statue series in Madison Square Park. Today let me show you the best part of that exhibit: people's reactions to it.

The sculptures populate many of the rooftops nearby the park--but there are also a few scattered about on ground level. And when I started taking photos of the statue standing on 23rd Street where Broadway and Fifth Avenue cross, I started noticing the funny reactions several folks had to the naked figure displaying his junk for all the Flatiron District to see. (Not that it was the first time this kind of thing happened.) (And you know it certainly won't be the last.)

Here's a peek at how some New Yorkers took a peek.














P.S. See more of my photos of New Yorkers reacting to their new nude neighbor here.

since i work in the flatiron district, let me share a few of the things i've been hearing:

"oh my, aren't we gifted.."
"yes, it is a man. a very large man."
"that's just impossible..."
"in his dreams..."
