New York City has changed a lot and we're more nostalgic now than ever. Since then, it's only grown. The towers are taller and tighter close together, there's more people than ever before, and billboards sweep across the city's buildings. But there's also a good deal about it that has stayed the same: you can still make out at South Street Seaport like Alvie and Annie or get a foodgasm at Katz Deli. It still rules.


"The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and beauty in the world." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

A squirrel taking shelter under a mini umbrella is the latest addition to London photographer Max Ellis’ portfolio. He’s succeeded posing squirrels with objects before, including pumpkins, but getting one to pose in the rain was difficult. Ellis’ solution? Coating the umbrella in sunflower seeds and peanut butter before hanging it on fishing line.
