Adobe Celebrates Roller Skating Culture

Adobe and Emmy, Grammy and Tony-award winning actress and singer Cynthia Erivo have collaborated with Stories on Skates, a series of six digital animations created using the software suite’s 3D tools.

Roller-skating has seen a resurgence in popularity during the pandemic as people look for a novel way to spend time outside during lockdown. While the sport has found a new audience and some viral love on social media, roller-skating has deep roots in Black culture, with skating rinks serving as venues for desegregation protests in the 1960s and hip-hop concerts in the 1980s. We love this!

Bryan Sansivero – Abandoned New York Mansion

Bryan Sansivero captures an abandoned lavish mansion with a secret past

Just outside New York City, there’s a sprawling, 57-room mansion sitting on 6 acres and equipped with a bowling alley, indoor tennis court, two bars, a library, opulent interiors, with spiral staircases and chandeliers. It is also entirely abandoned. Built in the late 1930s and last inhabited in the 1970s, the neglect is allegedly down to an owner who would buy lavish mansions and leave them to rot. While the building itself is in need of repairs, the collections within it remain untouched and have been beautifully captured by photographer Bryan Sansivero – there are dolls, old photographs, plastic flowers, paintings and two pianos, stark reminders of a privileged life from the past. Fascinating stuff! 🙂
