After seeing Julian Hibbard's 'Street Animals NYC,' I really want to be a small, wide-eyed child again. Riding a garishly painted animal outside of a grocery store is one of the biggest things I miss from childhood.
The animals in 'Street Animals NYC' look a little scary. Maybe it's the jet black backdrop that helps to bring out the true creepiness of these rides. All of these animals are either intensely focused or smiling creepily. I may think twice before letting my future child ride one of these.
