Unfortunately for the tourists, the Love sculpture also functions as seating for tired New Yorkers. The photographer can angle the shot to emphasize the letter E and her friend so the regular folk hardly show.

The sidewalk is being fixed so it’s impossible to get a good picture of the LOVE sculpture with your friends horsing around or acting lovey-dovey on it. They will remedy the situation before the summer onslaught of tourists because they have to, they just have to.
The backside of Love
December 22, 2011
Usually a fruit vendor is blocking this view of tourists posing between the letters V and E. Winter begins today, so the vendors are gone in anticipation of icy-cold weather. Instead, it’s 55 degrees. This month is surreal.

The scaffolding by the red LOVE sculpture has come down. Now the little ones can sit and look extra adorable in a NY setting.

The scaffolding is terrible for the LOVE sculpture. The number of visitors to this photo destination is way down since it’s permanently in the shadows. Hopefully the building construction won’t last too long.

Scaffolding is going up around the love sculpture at the corner of 55th and 6th Avenue. Visitors were older and more uninhibited than usual yesterday. Is a trend underway? Further observations will be made.

Because it gets a lot of visitors, I feel compelled to feature the well-known red sculpture every couple months. Tourists act like the piece is NYC’s epicenter of love, act giddy, and take pictures of each other posing in front of it.

The afternoon sun in the late fall is murder. On the avenues it shines in your eyes, blinds you, and steers you into strangers, yet on the side streets, it’s too dark to take a half-decent picture. For fun, sit between the V and the E of the LOVE sculpture, and see how long it takes for someone to snap your picture.
Still not about the bike

Today it’s lines on the street, the red sculpture, and the crowd. I don’t think the bicycle wants to be in the photo, really. The rider is rushing off to make a food delivery.
Love obscured

Getting a good shot is a challenge. People sit on the base of the Love sculpture and have a cigarette, a sandwich, or even worse, a NAP. It’s not like you can give them a poke with your shoe and ask them to get a move on. Or what about this man in a suit, blocking out the letter “o” with that mop of… surfer’s hair?
