How the Mafia Works
The Mafia has controlled everything from the street corner drug trade to the highest levels of government. Glorified by movies and television, hounded by law enforcement officials, marked for death by their enemies, mobsters live violent and often brief lives. The Mafia at its core is about one thing -- money. Still, there are secret rituals, complicated rules and tangled webs of family loyalty.
How the Mafia Works by Ed Grabianowski.

Gerard Maynard: Harlem-13-gigapixels
One sunny summer afternoon in Harlem, the pulse of the city came to a standstill 2,045 times. A camera perched on the roof of a building at 7th Avenue and 110th Street in New York City panned and tilted, capturing the skyline from 4:43 p.m. to 6:53 p.m. The man behind the camera was Gerard Maynard, a Harlem, New York-based artist.
“I live in Harlem. I have made quite a few images of the Harlem skyline over the past 4 years. I lived in the building on 110th Street, where the photos were taken from. The Harlem skyline is constantly changing,” Maynard said. “The image is about the present, the past and the possibilities of the future. The current Harlem skyline is ragged but full of promise. It has a deep history that can be lost if not remembered.”
