New Yorkers can now use DOT traffic cameras to create their own personal photo booths by taking unique snapshots of themselves off the surveillance footage, with Big Apple vistas in the background.
, a Web site created by Morry Kolman of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, launched Monday and gives locals access to more than 900 city traffic cameras in real time by linking users up to the DOT’s readily available streams on its own site.
Secret Service apologizes to salon owner over break-in, bathroom use with 'no permission' during Kamala Harris event What makes for a good traffic camera photo? Wearing bright clothing, posing with large groups – and most importantly, looking both ways before crossing the street, Kolman said.Traffic-camera models should also hold poses for a few seconds at a time to allow the cameras to snap a shot.
“Making an app sucks and costs money and I have to pay Apple,” Kolman explained.“I guess this is one of my many contributions to places that are interesting online that do things that are just independent, free, interesting and have some effect in the world, hopefully.”Kolman said New York City serves as the perfect backdrop for the project given that its traffic happens at intersections, while a lot of other cities’ traffic is on highways.
