    London based photographer Alex Maclean has a passion for hopping into prop planes, flying a few thousand feet above the group and focusing his camera lens on the interesting scenery below. Did we mention he is also piloting the plane while all this is happening? Alex is a badass and is wildly considered to be one of the best when it comes to this aerial art form.  In 2009 he released a book called Up on the Roof: New York’s Hidden Skyline Spaces that received rave reviews from just about anyone who has ever reviewed a book – see some of the reviews below.  We’ve pulled together some of the highlights of his New York City work but if you want to see it all pick up his book.

    New York City Beer Week 2013

    New York Beer Week 2013 is upon us, and, like Shark Week, it mostly centers around consuming everything in site. But instead of seals and boring krill, you’ll be taking down ultra-rare collaborations, barrel-aged one-offs being uncorked for the first time, loads of beer-infused food, whole hogs, and so many local bottles your pee will be even more authentically New York than the puddle in the subway that is somehow always there. There are literally hundreds of events (starting tonight!), which is why Thrillist created this handy, zoom-in-able decision tree that gracefully takes you through some of the highlights. Now go drink. See the full size graphic here >>

    Pier of Fear Alesso Pacha New York City - 19

    The RSVLTS celebrated Halloween early and took to Pier 94 in NYC this past Saturday for the All Mixed Up show featuring Alesso, Sebastian Ingrosso & Otto Knows. This wasn’t your mother’s concert. The Pacha NYC event team transformed nearly every inch of the 133,000 square foot open space pier into a mind-blowing EDM concert hall. P94’s capacity is said to be around 6,000, but the sold out show felt more like 60,000 dancing revelers in full costume. The most popular costume? Why Bananas of course… The P94 show was one of two that night, with the first happening earlier in the night at Nassau’s Coliseum. Naturally the DJ’s were flown in by helicopter from Long Island to Pier 94. The show kicked off late and went well into the night starting with Otto Knows at midnight, peaking around 1:30am with Alesso’s spectacular set and ending around 4am with Sebastian Ingrosso. The RSVLTS had an all access pass to the event and captured some amazing high quality images. Check them below and in the event you’ve been living under a rock the past year still spinning your Adele ’21′ album, listen to some of their biggest hits below…

    [ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: October 31, 2012] New York City is always bright. Street lights, business marquees, light from apartments and car headlights merge to light every corner of the city streets, even on the darkest nights. It is the night after NYC was decimated by Hurricane Sandy, downtown NYC is in the midst of a power outage that has plunged it into complete darkness. I felt the call to hit the eerily dark streets and show New York as it is rarely seen. Trekking around with my tripod I was able to get the long exposures necessary to see in the dark.
