Reporting & photos by Ray Hu
Core77 is pleased to partner with Windows Phone to bring you a series of photo diaries this summer. Based on the theme of Reinvention, we're looking to capture the fleeting moments and highlight the often-overlooked facets of the world around us through the lens of the Nokia Lumia 928, especially in the low-light settings in which its camera excels. (All photos were taken with the Nokia Lumia 928 smartphone and are published without postproduction unless otherwise noted.)
It's beginning to look a lot like summer here in the New York—tourists and residents alike were certainly glad that the weather held up for Memorial Day after a freakishly cold start to last weekend. The holiday weekend also marks the beginning of the first beach season since Superstorm Sandy slammed the East Coast and ravaged much of the coastline where so many of us have fond memories of halcyon summers past. Indeed, the city has been making a concerted effort to restore the beloved recreational areas in the months since the hurricane struck last fall, and the New York Timesrecently chronicled the recovery effort in anticipation of the official reopening of Rockaway Beach.
MoMAPS1's VW Dome 2, a temporary event space across the street from the beach, will be open until June 30.
