You Fall - Brooklyn Heights Promenade, aes.14

What do I have to do
to make you
fall in love
with me?

aes.14

I checked the fountain. It is turned off for the winter.

On my walk along the promenade, I saw this knit tag. It was cloudy out, so the colors don't appear as vibrant as they are. Don't know who the tagger is, but was cool to see. (Knit tags are one of my inspirations.)

P.S.
Spring is coming!!!

Tags 14-19

(The match between the tag's phrase and the location choice is not arbitrary, as I originally thought it would be. Some tags just belong in particular spaces, and don't belong in others. I'm not sure why I sense that, but I'm going with it.)

Valentine's Day Tags - Manhattan Bridge Archway, aes.7, 8, 9, & 10



It starts with
a little push.

aes.7
---------

It is said that an
aesthetic experience
lasts about as long as
one notices the scent of a
freshly-peeled orange.

aes.8
---------

Would you like
to dance?

aes.9
---------

Splitting a double-
stick popsicle with
your best friend.
Grape-flavored.

aes.10

I "bombed" this beautiful space in the archway under the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo on Saturday, tying on four tags. (Normally I only do one a day, but maybe with Valentine's Day in the air I was feeling more expansive.)

By Sunday morning, only one tag was left.

The lonesome string, decoupled from its tag. I think this was the grape popsicle one. The other two were gone too. Guess someone liked them!

Tags 7-12


(It's ok if people take them. It's ok if they blow away. It's ok if they land in a puddle. I won't disturb them if I encounter them again.)

To Hear - Bway/Lafayette F Platform, aes.4

It's so good to
hear your voice.

aes.4


Waited for 2 days for the right spot to present itself at the right time.

I slotted it inside an empty subway map frame mounted on a column toward the back of the Brooklyn-bound side. Was rush hour and hard to feel inconspicuous.

(Is it confusing that I'm not putting out the tags in order?)

The Ride - Plymouth St, aes.6

The ride back home
always seemed faster
than the ride to.

aes.6

[no photo]

Tied on in same place as Tag #3 (aes.5).
The first one got nabbed, but the string was still there.
Might become a recurring spot.
