I come from a country where the flag, the Irish tri-colour, is treated with respect. Given our troubled history it's no surprise.
When I arrived in New York City in 1994 I was immediately taken aback at the ubiquity of the Stars & Stripes. Many of the ways it was flown and otherwise displayed I felt were rather odd.
I began to wonder about the extent to which people are aware of the protocol.
This project observes both good and bad examples of US flag etiquette in New York.
